lyrics:

Never Be A Saint
(Louie Ortega)

I'll never be a saint
Cuz I just won't be
I'll never be afraid
Cuz I just won't be
And I plain won't be
If I don't want to be at all

I'm so alive with life
Like day's morning dew
I'm coasting high on a glimpse of you
In love I guess I'll be here tomorrow
Because I want to be

I know what I want to be
I know who I want to be
I know why I want to be
I know where I want to be

My heart so gently flutters like an angels wing
I'll gladly wait
For what your love may bring to me
And your love I will be - yours forever
Because I want to be

I know what I want to be
I know who I want to be
I know why I want to be
I know where I want to be

I know what I want to be
I know who I want to be
I know why I want to be
I know where I want to be
With you
