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 all the world how to get along Peace will enter when hate is gone But, if it's not asking too much Please send me someone to love I lay awake night and ponder world troubles My answer is always the same That unless men put an end to all of this Hate will put the world in a flame, (oh) what a shame Just because I'm in misery I'm not begging for no sympathy But if it's not asking too much Just send me someone to love 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 Learn to love me or leave me, either one you wanna do Learn to love me or leave me, either one you wanna do Because strange things are happenin' Babe, an' somethin' might happen to you If you know you don't love me, why don't you let me be? If you know you don't love me, why don't you let me be? Because it's better to be without you, then to live on in misery Hey! Midnight find me cryin', daylight find me cryin', too Midnight find me cryin', daylight find me cryin', too You better change your ways pretty baby Or somethin' might happen to you
