Randy Newman Lover's Prayer song lyrics

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
