[Verse 1]
She looks like a catalog model
Mama to toddlers
Makes me want her something awful
Adored by songbirds far and wide
Cinderella-style, undercover princess vibes
And I’m done for
[Pre-Chorus 1]
On a loop like
Who is she, who is she
What about Friday, is she busy
Would she spend a little bit of time with me
Could ask her, but I’m too much a sissy
[Chorus]
Act like such a saint
Only ‘cause I’m too afraid to say
She gets me every time I wait
Let the tension slip away
Peaks my meter
Every time my heart can see her
Bed rest ‘til the fever breaks
Stare until the image fades
[Post-Chorus 1]
I act like such a saint
Such a saint
I act like such a saint
Such a saint
[Verse 2]
She looks like she’d empty her coffers
Skin ever softer
Never leave me at the altar
Still I’d take it if that was on offer
Governor of a positive state of mind
Even when she wakes up on the wrong side
I want to know her
(I want to know her)
But I can’t get closer
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Who is she, who is she
What about Friday, is she busy
Would she spend a little bit of time with me
I give the advice, but I’m never listening
[Chorus]
Act like such a saint
Only ‘cause I’m too afraid to say
She gets me every time I wait
Let the tension slip away
Peaks my meter
Every time my heart can see her
Bed rest ‘til the fever breaks
Stare until the image fades
[Post-Chorus 2]
I act like such a saint
Such a saint
I act like such a saint
Such a saint
[Bridge]
Who is she, who is she
If we tried, would it end too quickly
If I left, would she ever miss me
Back to the abbey to pray my rosary
[Chorus]
Act like such a saint
Only ‘cause I’m too afraid to say
She gets me every time I wait
Let the tension slip away
Peaks my meter
Every time my heart can see her
Bed rest ‘til the fever breaks
Stare until the image fades
[Post-Chorus 3]
I act like such a saint
Such a saint
Hurts me how hard I pray
I act like such a saint
Such a saint
I act like such a saint
Such a saint
I act like such a saint
But it’s too late
For me to be saved
