[Verse 1]
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
And 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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
And 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
[Verse 4]
I'm not gonna call on you any more
I'm sure you've got a million things to do
But all I was trying to do
Was to get through to you
Get through to you
'Cause 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?
