Good day/night!!
It �s taken from the song "Jesus doesn �t want me for a sunbeam" (Nirvana)

Jesus don �t want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are not made like me
Don �t expect me to cry
For all the reasons you had to die
Don �t ever ask your love of me

Don �t expect me to cry, don �t expect me to lie
Don �t expect me to die for thee

Don �t expect me to cry, don �t expect me to lie
Don �t expect me to die, don �t expect me to cry
Don �t expect me to lie, don �t expect me to die for thee

Does it mean "Don �t ever ask me to love you the way you love me"?

Sounds more like he is singing that he is not one that is going to be a "good Christian" so don �t ask him to cry about Christ �s actions nor babble religious dogma (which he believes to include lies).
 
He is not a "shiny (sunbeam) Christian" that runs around happy and beaming while preaching thier doctrine, so don �t ask him to be one.
