I, I prefer your love 
To Jesus 
 
Little baby on your knees 
Cause the world has got you down 
 
Name-tagged tourists, sick at the sight of them
Tight-walking the sidewalk in spite of them 
As my headache moves from east to west
Mother, won't you open your arms and 
Forgive me of all these bad thoughts
I'm blinded to the faces in the fog 
 
But all the good in me is because of you 
It's true 
 
I, I prefer your love 
To Jesus 
I, I prefer your love 
To Jesus 
 
Little baby on your knees 
Cause the world has got you down 
 
King-sized country wearing your worries out 
Headless heroes heaped by the pylons 
As a careless sun sets on the West 
Sure as mother licking her finger to
Wipe the blush and smudge from my cheek and 
Wonder what will become of your little one 
 
But all the good in me is because of you 
It's true 
 
I, I prefer your love 
To Jesus 
I, I prefer your love 
To Jesus 
 
Little baby on your knees 
Cause the world has got you down
