My Lover's Prayer

(album: On To Victory - 1980)

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

Oh, my life is such a weary thing
But it might keep on raining, keep on raining
Be old pressure bringing rain
'Cause you keep me waiting, wanting, wishing for you
When I know deep down I ain't to blame, baby

Oh yeah, what you gonna do tonight?
When you need some loving arms to hold you so tight
What you gonna do tonight
When you need my heavy voice to tell you good night

Oh but honey, you don't wanna think about it
'Cause there ain't no problem
You've got to come home and help me solve it
Then I won't be missing you
And my lover's prayer would be all over

What can the matter be?
It can't be too serious, we can't talk it over
I can't keep living in this misery
Oh but God, You can't make my life all over

Oh, now honey, don't you let that be no problem
Just come on home and right now help me solve it
Then I won't be missing you no more
And my lover's prayer would be all over

This is my lover's prayer at night
All you gonna do is keep me right
My lover's prayer, my lover's, lover's prayer
This is my lover's prayer, this is my lover's prayer
