Hey Jesus

--- -----



hey, jesus, it's me. i don't usually talk to you but my

baby's gonna leave me, and there's something you

must do. i am not your faithful servant, i hang around

sometimes with a bunch of your black sheep, but if

you make my baby stay, i'll make it up to you and

that's a promise i will keep. hey jesus, it's me. i'm the

one who talked to you yesterday and i asked you

please, please for a favor but my baby's gone away,

went away anyway and i don't really think its fair,

you've got the power to make us all believe in you and

then we call you in our despair, and you don't come

through. hey jesus, it's me, i'm sorry. i don't

remember all i said, i had a few, no, too many and they

went straight to my head, made me feel like i could

argue with god but you know, it's easy for you, you got

friends all over the world, you had the whole world

waiting for your birth but now i ain't got nobody, i

don't know what my life's worth. i'm not gonna call on

you any more. i'm sure you've got a million things to

do, all i was trying to do was to get through to you, get

through to you because when i die and i get up to your

doors i don't even know if you're gonna let me in the

place, how come i gotta die to get a chance to talk to

you face to face?
