| 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 I’m not to blame |
| What you gonna do tonight |
| When you need some lovin' 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 on home and help me solve it |
| Dear, 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 it |
| Dear, I won’t be missing you, I won’t be missing 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 in so many circles |
| This is my lover’s prayer, come on, come on, come on home |
| This is my lover’s prayer |
| I’m singing out to you and I hope it will reach y’all |
| This is my lover’s prayer, I hope it gets to you |
