Please Send Me Someone to Love Songtext
von The Count Basie Orchestra

This is something we all need

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

Teach the world how, how to get along
Peace will enter when hate is gone
Then if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

I lay awake and count the world′s troubles
And my answers are always the same
That if man don't put an end to this damnable sin
Hate's gonna put the world in flame


Not just because I′m in misery
I won′t beg for no sympathy
Then if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
To kiss, to hold, yeah-yeah
Yeah

Derrick Gardner

I lay awake and count the world′s troubles
And my answers are always the same
That if man don't put an end to this destructible sin
Hate′s gonna put the world in flame
What a shame, what a shame, what a shame
What a shame, what a shame

That just because I'm in misery
I am going to beg for no sympathy
But then, if it′s not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

Please, whoo!
Please, please, Lord
Lord, send me someone to love

Thank you
Once again, Derrick Gardner
