Savior piano version by St. Vincent Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You dress me up in a nurse's outfit
It rides and sticks to my thighs and my hips
You put me in a teacher's little denim skirt
Ruler and desk so I can make it hurt

[Chorus]
But I keep you on your best behavior
Honey, I can't be your savior
Love you to the grave and farther
Honey, I can't be your martyr

[Verse 2]
You dress me in a nun's black habit (Huh)
Hail Mary pass, 'cause you know I'll grab it
Hand me a badge and a little billy club
Like I'm supposed to book you on a hit-and-run

[Chorus]
Adore you to the grave and farther
Honey, I can't be your martyr
Maybe it's just human nature
But, honey, I can't be your savior
[Refrain]
But then you say, "Please, please"

[Verse 3]
Dress me in leather
That's a little better
But that's still not it
None of this shit fits

[Chorus]
But I keep you on your best behavior
Honey, I can't be your savior
Love you to the grave and farther
Honey, I am not your martyr

[Post-Chorus]
But then you say, "Please, please"
"Please, please"
"Please, please"
"Please, please"
"Please, please"

[Outro]
You call me a strange girl, yeah
You're inspecting my bruises, yeah
I got them trying to save the world
You say, "Girl, you're not Jesus"
