Please send me someone to love

• Lyrics: Percy Mayfield
• Music: Percy Mayfield

Played in 1976 by Jerry in the JGB with James Booker.

    Heaven please send to all mankind
    Understanding and peace of mind
    But if it's not asking too much
    Please send me someone to love

    Show the world how to get along
    And peace will enter when hate is gone
    But if it is not asking too much
    Lord won't you please send me, send me someone to love

    I lay awake at night and find the world full of trouble
    And you know my answer is always the same
    Unless man bring an end to this [destructible] sin
    Hate is gonna put the world in a flame, what a shame now

    Just because I am in misery
    Well I don't beg for no sympathy
    Well if it's not asking too much
    Please send me someone to love

    I lay awake at night and find the world full of trouble
    And you know my answer is always the same
    Unless man bring an end to this [destructible] sin
    We're all gonna put the world in a flame, what a shame

    Just because I am in misery
    You know I don't beg for no sympathy
    If it is not asking too much
    Please send me someone to love

    Well someone to love
    Someone to love
    Please send me someone
    I want someone
    Well I want someone
    Someone to love, just someone to love
    Do you know on a Monday
    I want someone, I want someone to love
    And on Tuesday, I want someone to love
    Well on a Wednesday, well on a Wednesday
    I want someone, I want someone now
    Well on a Thursday and a Friday and Saturday and Sunday
    You know I need spomeone to love
    I need someone to walk with me
    And I want someone to talk with me
    I want someone to hold my hand
    And make me understand
    That I mean a love
    I m being loved
    By someone, by someone
    I'm well aware
    And you know I'm being loved
    I'm being loved by someone, someone
    Someone, someone
