My Lover's Prayer — Otis Redding

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

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

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 y'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
