Lyrics Randy Newman

Randy Newman

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 perfumes, 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
