No Saint

Forgive me, Father
For have I sinned

In the beginning, was Adam and me
K-I-S-S-I-N-G under the apple trees
We hid our love behind the leafs
One day I was wondering
Then I started wandering
Found out that in the garden
Forbidden fruit was just as sweet
Forbidden fruit was just as sweet to me, yeah

Paul, he came along
Tried to make me believe
Thought he helped me find a way
I was no naive
He spoke of higher powers
I'd never use his name in vain
I thought every word was gospel
It wasn't God though, it was game
It was game
It wasn't God, no, it was game
It was game

Who's to blame?
In this world of sin
Baby, you're no saint
I could just pretend but you're no saint
No, I'm not afraid to say
I'm no saint

Then I met Elijah, oh the cherry of the fire
Summoned me to the carriage
Told him I could take him higher
Still, he was a wise man
Who could see beyond my wild plans
He was on a righteous path
No victim of desire
So I went down to the water
Where I could be made new
And there was John, and there were dreams
Some of them came true
But he would never change
And sure as hell wouldn't let me
Down came the rain
And that caused us to part like the red sea
Like the red sea, part like the red sea
Like the red sea, part like the red sea

Oh
Who's to blame?
In this world of sin
Baby, you're no saint
I could just pretend but you're no saint
No, I'm not afraid to say
I'm no saint

Who's to blame?
In this world of sin
Baby, you're no saint (You ain't perfect baby)
I could just pretend but you're no saint (If I could take it all back)
No, I'm not afraid to say (If I could take it all back)
I'm no saint (I would take it all back)

I never claimed to be a saint (Saint)
I'm just human, baby
I ain't perfect, baby (Saint)
