please send me someone to love

Singer:houston, thelma

heaven please send to all mankind

understanding and peace in mind

but if it's not asking too much

please send me someone to love

someone to love

tell the world how to get along

peace will enter when hate is gone

and if it's not asking too much

please send me someone to love

i lay awake nights and ponder all of the world troubles

and my answer is always the same

unless men put an end to oh

this damnable sin

you know

hate will put the world in a flame

what a shame

just

just because i'm in misery

i'm don't beg for no sympathy

and if it's not asking too much

please. please. please. please. please. send me someone to love

someone to love
