Otis Redding - My Lover's Prayer Lyrics

This is my lover's prayer
I hope it'll reach out to you, my love
This is my lover's prayer
And I hope you can understand it my love

My life is such a weary thing
But it might be years old, pressure's bringing rain
You keep on wanting, waiting and wishing
When I know deep down I'm not to blame

What you gonna do tonight
When you need some loving arms to hold you tight
Tell me what you gonna do tonight
When you need my heavy voice to tell you good night

Honey but you can't let that be no problem
You've got to come on home and help me solve all
Yeah I won't be missing you
And honey, my lover's prayer would be all over, oh man

What can the matter be now?
It can't be too serious, we can't talk it over, love
Living in this misery, darling
You can't make my life all over

Honey but you don't let that be no problem
Just come on home and help me solve it, oh yeah
Dear I won't be missing you, I won't keep missing you
And my lover's prayer would be all over, it got to be all over
Honey all over now, don't keep my life going round in so many circles

This is my lover's prayer, come on
Come on home now
This is my lover's prayer
I'm singing out to you
And I hope it'll reach to you all
This is my lover's prayer
I hope it gets the best of all the world
