This is my lovers prayer
I hope it'll reach out to you, my love
This is my lovers 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 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
What you gonna do tonight 
When you need my heavy voice to tell you good night 

Honey but you can't let that be no problem
You've got to come home and help me solve it
[Yeah] I won't be missing you 
And honey, my lovers prayer would be all over 

What can the matter be [now]?
It can't be to 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
And my lovers prayer would be all over 
It got to be all over 
Honey all over 
Don't keep my life going round so many circles 

I won't be missing you
I won't be missing you
And my lovers prayer won't be all over 

This is my lovers prayer
Come on why'all
This is my lovers prayer 
And I hope it reaches out to you 
This is my lovers prayer 
I hope it gets to you
