Please Send Me Someone To Love lyrics

(originally by Percy Mayfield,from Pleasantville OST)

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

Show the world how to get along
And peace we'll enter when hate is gone
But if it is not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love

And I wake up and ponder the world's trouble
And my answer is always the same
Now let's put an end to this damn all of sin
Hate will put the world in a flame, what a shame

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

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

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