Solomon Burke - Please Send Me Someone To Love Lyrics

Solomon Burke Lyrics

"Please Send Me Someone To Love"
(originally by Percy Mayfield)

Heaven send me for all mankind
Understanding, love and peace of mind
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love, someone to love

On my knees I pray each day
All my troubles will pass away
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love, someone to love

I lie awake at night and the world so troubled
And I wonder Lord what I gotta do to change things
Oh but unless men put an end
To all this crime, war, trouble and sin
This old world of us will soon go up in flames
What a shame

Heaven send me for all mankind
A little more understanding and just some peace of mind
But for me if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

Now that I've asked you for all the things I want for the world
Send me someone to love me
Send me someone to hold me
Send me someone to understand me
You see I need somebody
I need somebody
I need someone to love
I want someone to walk by my side
To be my guide
To hold me, squeeze me, tease me, please me, love me...
