Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
But, if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Show all the world how to get along
Peace will enter when hate is gone
But, if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
I lay awake night and ponder world troubles
My answer is always the same
That unless men put an end to all of this
Hate will put the world in a flame, (oh) what a shame
Just because I'm in misery
I'm not begging for no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much
Just send me someone to love
Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Learn to love me or leave me, either one you wanna do
Learn to love me or leave me, either one you wanna do
Because strange things are happenin'
Babe, an' somethin' might happen to you
If you know you don't love me, why don't you let me be?
If you know you don't love me, why don't you let me be?
Because it's better to be without you, then to live on in misery
Hey!
Midnight find me cryin', daylight find me cryin', too
Midnight find me cryin', daylight find me cryin', too
You better change your ways pretty baby
Or somethin' might happen to you
Please Send Me Someone to Love was written by Percy Mayfield.
Language was true feelings, coming from kids like us who really believed that one wonderful girl would make us happy for the rest of our lives. We worshipped her with our singing. If we didn’t already have her, we prayed for her. What was Percy Mayfield’s prayer? ‘Please Send Me Someone to Love.’
