Lyrics for Lover's Prayer
Don't send me no young girl to love me With their eyes shinin' bright All the young girls are afraid of me Send me a woman tonight Don't send me no hand-holdin' baby 'Cause I been with babies before Don't send me nobody that's crazy Don't send me no young girls no more I was entertaining a little girl in my rooms, Lord With California wines and French parfumes, Lord She started to talk to me about the War, Lord I said, "I don't want to talk about the War." Don't send me nobody with glasses Don't want no one above me Don't send nobody takin' night-classes Send me somebody to love me Please answer my prayer Please answer my prayer Please answer my prayer
