[Chorus]
Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me
[Verse 1]
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 never made like me

For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me
