Jesus Doesn’t Want Me for a Sunbeam Lyrics

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

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me

[Chorus]
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee

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

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me

[Chorus]
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee

[Instrumental bridge]

[Chorus]
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee

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

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me

[Chorus]
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

[Spoken]
I guarantee you I will screw this song up, so...
What song is it?
Well, I at least know which part I'll screw up
Yeah, like he only screws one up
