Lyrics Otis Redding

Otis Redding

My Lover's Prayer

This is my lover's prayer

I hope it'll reach out to you, my love

This is my lover's prayer

And I hope you can understand it, my love

My life is such a weary thing

But it might be old pressure bringing rain

You keep me wanting, waiting and wishing

When I know deep down that I'm not to blame

What you gonna do tonight

When you need some loving arms to hold you tight?

Tell me, what you gonna do tonight

When you need my heavy voice to tell you goodnight?

Honey but you can't let that be no problem

You've got to come home and help me solve 'em

Yeah, I won't be missing you

And honey, my lover's prayer would be all over, oh my

What can the matter be, now?

It can't be too serious we can't talk it over

Living in this misery, darling

You can't make my life all over

Honey, but don't you let that be no problem

Just come on home and help me solve 'em

Then I won't be missing you, I would keep kissing you

And my lover's prayer would be all over

It got to be all over

Honey, all over

Don't keep my life going 'round so many circles

This is my lover's prayer

Come on y'all

This is my lovers prayer

I'm singin' out to you

And I hope it reaches out to you

This is my lover's prayer

I hope it gets to you
