(punk rock — three chords, fast, snotty, defiant)
[Intro — count-in, distorted guitar stab]
1-2-3-4!
[Verse 1]
She ain’t a saint, she never claimed to be
Got a reputation, got a history
Everybody’s got somethin’ to say
I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care anyway
[Pre-Chorus]
They talk behind their hands, they talk behind their teeth
I’m the only one who knows what’s underneath
[Chorus]
She’s my girl, she’s a mess, she’s mine
Ain’t no halo, ain’t no angel shine
Rough around every edge, rough and real
That’s the only kind of love I ever wanna feel
She’s no saint — good, me neither
Give me the girl the whole town’s scared of, believe her
[Verse 2]
Everybody’s clean ’til they ain’t
Everybody’s a sinner playin’ saint
I’ll take the real thing over the fake
Take the whole damn girl, every mistake
[Pre-Chorus]
They talk behind their hands, they talk behind their teeth
I’m the only one who knows what’s underneath
[Chorus]
She’s my girl, she’s a mess, she’s mine
Ain’t no halo, ain’t no angel shine
Rough around every edge, rough and real
That’s the only kind of love I ever wanna feel
She’s no saint — good, me neither
Give me the girl the whole town’s scared of, believe her
[Bridge — screamed, half-time breakdown]
YOU CAN KEEP YOUR SAINTS
KEEP YOUR PERFECT THINGS
I WANT SOMETHIN’ REAL
I WANT SOMETHIN’ THAT BITES AND SINGS
[Final Chorus — fast again, gang vocals]
She’s my girl, she’s a mess, she’s mine
Ain’t no halo, ain’t no angel shine
Rough around every edge, rough and real
That’s the only kind of love I ever wanna feel
She’s no saint — good, me neither
Give me the girl the whole town’s scared of, believe her
[Outro — one last chord, cuts off hard]
No saint. No shame. No regrets.
