Shes Got To Be A Saint
Price Ray Lyrics

I'm out late every night
I am out every night, doing things that aren't right.

Doing things that ain't right
My actions are wrong.

And she'll cry for me
She will cry for me.

When I'm down in the dumps
When I am upset.

And she nurses my lumps
She helps heal my pains.

How she cries for me
How hard she cries for me.

And she'll never complain
She never complains.

She keeps hiding the pain
She never shows her pain.

But I know all the while
But I know the truth.

She's not feeling too well
She isn't feeling well.

'Cause I put her through hell
Because I cause her a lot of stress and pain.

Still she forces a smile
She still smiles despite everything.

She's got to be a saint
She is a saint.

Lord know that I ain't
I am not a saint.

I finally realize
I understand now.

Right before my eyes
I see it clearly now.

Here is a saint
She is a saint.

There's a dress in a shop
There is a dress in a store.

That'll make her eyes pop
The dress will make her eyes widen with amazement.

But she'll look away
She will not look at the dress.

She'd have gotten a lift
She would have felt happy and excited.

If I'd bought her that gift
If I had purchased her the dress.

For her birthday
It would have been for her birthday.

But her birthday has come
Her birthday has passed.

And I feel like a bum
I feel like a worthless person.

'Cause I spent my last dime
Because I spent all my money.

On a worthless old friend
On a friend who isn't worth it.

On a drunken weekend
On a weekend spent drinking alcohol.

I've done it time after time
I have done this many times before.

Should I stay? Should I go?
Should I leave or stay?

I really don't know
I am not sure.

My mind's in a blur
I am confused and unsure.

Soon it's gonna be dawn
The sun will soon rise.

And if she finds me gone
If I am not there when she wakes up.

Would it be best for her?
Would it be better for her?

I see her cry in her sleep
I see her cry while she is sleeping.

So I kiss her wet cheek
I kiss her face which is wet with tears.

I kneel by her and pray
I kneel beside her and pray.

And I'll turn off the light
I will turn the light off.

Step out in the night
I will go out into the night.

And I'll go on my way
And I will leave.
