Lyrics for One Man's Prayer
I just want some girl to love me back Tell me I'm her only And take away the lonely This deep love in my heart can't go to waste 'Cause if I won't get to meet God And I won't get to be a god Then at least God, let me get looked at by a girl I just want some girl to talk to me And tell me that I'm different Or say that I'm the same I don't care what she thinks Just think of me 'Cause if I won't get to meet God And I won't get to be a god Then at least God, let me get talked to by a girl This is what I want This is what I need If I ask real nice Will you give her to me? If I just say, "Please" "This is what I need" But if I can't have that Well, then at least I just want some girl to look my way And see that I am better than the others, that I matter In her life, I wanna be a friend 'Cause if I won't get to meet God And I won't get to be a god Then at least God, let me get noticed by a girl In this big world We just learn to live But you can't find love Loves from above But if I do have the choice to just put One foot in front of the other I'll sing, one word after another with my voice If I have a choice I just want some girl beneath my feet To tell me I'm her king And then beg me for a ring And I want her to be afraid of me And think that I might leave her And that I will not believe her When she says that she loves and cares for me 'Cause if I won't get to meet God And I won't get to be a god Then at least God, let me get worshiped by a girl In this great world We just learn to live But you can't find love Not from above This is what I want This is what I need If I ask real nice Will you give her to me? If I just say, "Please" "This is what I need" But if I can't have that Okay, then at least This is what I want (this is what I want) This is what I say (this is what I say) And this is what I pray
