Tell me what to do
What do I do now
Tell me what to do
I tumbled out of bed
I don't feel up to it
To face the day that's coming
I tried praying, God didn't hear
Between heat and chills
I live like this, what a sad fate I've got
I've got fear in my throat
When they say "There she goes singing down the street alone"
I've been like this since I was tiny
Half silly, poor thing
Mom, tell me what to do now
I wanna fly out of here
I've got a tight knot in my head
I wanna flip the table
Show the Devil who's boss
Mom, I'm good, I'm no saint
Mom, I'm good, I'm no saint
Mom, I'm good, I'm no saint
Mom, I'm good, I'm no saint
My God, is dreaming a sin
And luck always lives next door
Was I born on the wrong day
With Mercury out of line
There's no blessing that can save me
Nor prayer that can calm me
I've been like this since tiny
Half silly, poor thing
Mom, tell me what to do now
I wanna fly out of here
I've got a tight knot in my head
I wanna flip the table
Show the Devil who's boss
Mom, I'm good, I'm no saint
Mom, I'm good, I'm no saint
Mom, I'm good, I'm no saint
Mom, I'm good, I'm no saint
Mom, tell me what to do
Mom, tell me what to do
Mom, tell me what to do now
Mom, tell me what to do
Mom, tell me what to do
Mom, tell me what to do now
It's just I'm good, I'm no saint

SONG MEANING

Santa is Mimicat’s playful confession of morning-after chaos and lifelong restlessness. The singer tumbles out of bed feeling dizzy, anxious and out of sync with the universe, then fires off a frantic prayer that seems to bounce off the sky. Stumbling through heat flashes and chills, she hears people whisper about the girl who sings alone in the street, a mix of pity and curiosity that only deepens her insecurity.

Behind all this drama lies a stubborn spark of rebellion. Over and over she begs her mother for advice, yet she is the one who dreams of flipping the table, staring down the devil and taking control of her fate. Her mantra “Mãe, eu sou boa, não sou santa” (“Mom, I’m good, not a saint”) becomes a lively declaration that perfection is overrated. The song celebrates every wobble, doubt and daring impulse as part of a vibrant journey toward self-acceptance and freedom.
