Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
And if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love, yeah
Someone to love
Show the world how to get along
Peace will enter when hate is gone, now
And if it ain't asking too much
Please send me someone to love
I, I lay awake nights
And I ponder the whole world's trouble
And you know my answer is always the same
Unless man puts an end to his terrible sin
Hate, hate will have the whole world aflame, what a shame
Just because I'm in misery
I, I don't beg, I don't beg for nobody's sympathy, now
'Cause if it ain't asking too much
Please send me someone, someone, oh yeah
Oh now, just because I'm in so much misery
I don't beg for, I don't want nobody's sympathy, now
'Cause if it ain't asking too much
Please, please, please, please
Someone to love
If it ain't asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Oh yeah
