[Verse 1]
Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
[Chorus]
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Someone to love
[Verse 2]
Show the world how to get along
And peace will enter when hate is gone
[Chorus]
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love
I lay awake nights and ponder the world all trouble
And my answer is always the same
That unless men put an end to this damnable sin
Hate will put the world in a flame, what a shame
[Verse 3]
Just because I'm in misery
I don't beg for no sympathy
[Chorus]
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love
[Verse 4]
Just because I'm in misery
I don't beg for no sympathy
[Chorus]
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love
