Lyrics

Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam (Live Acoustic)

Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam Sunbeams are not made like me Don't expect me to cry For all the reasons, you had to die Don't ever ask your love of me Don't expect me to cry Don't expect me to lie Don't expect me to die for thee Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam Sunbeams are not made like me Don't expect me to cry For all the reasons, you had to die Don't ever ask your love of me Don't expect me to cry Don't expect me to lie Don't expect me to die for thee Don't expect me to cry Don't expect me to lie Don't expect me to die for thee Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam Sunbeams are not made like me Don't expect me to cry For all the reasons, you had to die Don't ever ask your love of me Don't expect me to cry Don't expect me to lie Don't expect me to die Don't expect me to cry Don't expect me to lie Don't expect me to die for thee
