Old 97's – Jesus Loves You lyrics

[Verse]
Jesus loves you more than I do
Just because He doesn't know you
Not like I do

Jesus says you'll get salvation
If you just keep on waitin'
And readin' the same book
Over and over again

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, you can talk to Him all night
But I'm right here
He makes wine from water
But I just bought you a beer

[Chorus]
You say Jesus loves you
And I say what about me?
Maybe Jesus loves you
But where the hell is he?

[Verse]
He's got the power and the glory
He's got a pretty kick-ass story
And what do I got?
I got the hots for you

He's got the whole world in His hands
I've got a Lone Star in cans
And I'm bringin' one over to you
And I'm sittin' down next to you

I'm not discountin' the Sermon on the Mount
And oh, when I was little you know
They dunked me in the fountain
They told me I was born again
But since then I've been torn
And when I think about making love with you
I know it would be more than sin

I'm a real person
A real live person
You could do a whole lot worse than
Ending up with me then
Even though I'm a heathen
Not everybody out there is
Connecting like we've been

I'll take you to the river
Let me take you to the river
I will deliver you

[Pre-Chorus]
Pray to Him all night
But I'm your man
He can walk on water
But I'll kiss you on the sand

[Chorus]
You say Jesus loves you
And I say what about me?
Maybe Jesus loves you
But where the hell is he?

You say Jesus loves you
I say what about me?
Maybe Jesus loves you
But where the hell is he?

Jesus loves you more than I do
Just because He doesn't know you
Not like I do
