  • I'm not a woman
    I'm not a man
    I am something that you'll never understand

    I'll never beat you
    I'll never lie
    And if you're evil I'll forgive you by and by

    'Cause you, I would die for you, yeah
    Darling if you want me to
    You, I would die for you

    I'm not your lover
    I'm not your friend
    I am something that you'll never comprehend

    No need to worry
    No need to cry
    I'm your messiah and you're the reason why

    'Cause you, I would die for you, yeah
    Darling if you want me to
    You, I would die for you

    You're just a sinner I am told
    Be your fire when you're cold
    Make you happy when you're sad
    Make you good when you are bad

    I'm not a human
    I am a dove
    I'm your conscious
    I am love
    All I really need is to know that
    You believe

    Yeah, I would die for you, yeah
    Darling if you want me to
    You, I would die for you

    Yeah, say one more time

    You, I would die for you
    Darling if you want me to
    You, I would die for you
    Two, three, four you

    I would die for you
    I would die for you
    You, I would die for you
    You, I would die for you Writer/s: Prince Rogers Nelson

  • Chad Eicher from Apple Creek, OhioWhen this song's chorus starts playing in my mind, I'm reminded of the fact that Jesus died for everyone everywhere. Sure, he was a seventh-day adventist before he became a jehovah's witness in 2001. However, the jehovah's witness teachings are different from christianity and their teaching are false.
