And my lover's prayer would be all over
This is my lover's prayer, I hope it gets to you
And I hope you can understand it, my love
But it might be old pressure bringing rain
What you gonna do tonight
When you need my heavy voice to tell you goodnight?
This is my lover's prayer
It can't be too serious, we can't talk it over
You've got to come on home and help me solve it
Songwriter: Otis Redding
It got to be all over, honey, all over
My life is such a weary thing
Just come on home and help me solve it
This is my lover's prayer, come on, come on, come on home
Publisher: EAST MEMPHIS MUSIC
I hope it'll reach out to you, my love
This is my lover's prayer
Tell me, what you gonna do tonight
Honey, but don't you let that be no problem
And honey, my lover's prayer would be all over, oh, my
You can't make my life all over
This is my lover's prayer
Living in this misery, darling
When you need some lovin' arms to hold you tight?
You keep me wanting, waiting and wishing
When I know deep down I'm not to blame
What can the matter be, now?
Don't keep my life going round in so many circles
I'm singing out to you and I hope it will reach y'all
Honey, but you can't let that be no problem
Dear, I won't be missing you
Dear, I won't be missing you, I won't be missing you
