Please Send Me Someone (Anselmo's Song)
George Michael · Patience
Some people said, he will never love again
Some people said, you can see it in his eyes
He keeps it all inside and yet . . . .
Some people say, in time, we all teach ourselves to live this way
And for a thousand days, I was lost
I thought never to be found,
Underground
And donÂ’t you think IÂ’m ready now?
So please send me someone to love . . .
Please send me someone, someone to love
As much as I loved you
(The way I loved you, darlinÂ’)
Please, please send me someone, someone to love
Please send me someone
Any time, any day, any time, any day now
Any time any day, any time, any day now
Please, please send me someone
Just to hold me now that youÂ’re gone
Some people say, “I hope you know I’m there for you”
Some of the people said - nothing,
And nothing was just fine
(You know how I get sometimes . . .)
And for a thousand days, I was lost
I said, “Heaven knows I’m ready to be found”,
Underground
But I think IÂ’m ready now
So please send me someone to love
Please send me someone, someone to love
As much as I loved you
Please, please send me someone, someone to love
Please send me someone
Please send me someone
Any time any day any time any day now
Any time any day any time any day now
Please, please send me someone
So say that you will, because the nights are long
Without our song to sing
Just search the clouds until . . . until
So say that you will
Show me right from wrong,
Without our song to sing
Just search the clouds until . . . until
And DarlinÂ’ darlinÂ’ though I canÂ’t replace you, thereÂ’s a
space in my heart
A space that you left in my heart
Just give me something that will pull me back from the blue
Oh send me someone like you
DarlinÂ’ darlinÂ’ no I canÂ’t replace you, thereÂ’s a space in my heart
A space that you left in my heart
Just give me something that will pull me back from the blue
Please send me someone to love
Please Send Me Someone (Anselmo's Song)
Released on the 1987 album Patience, this track stands as a poignant reflection on the end of a relationship, written by George Michael with lyrics co-authored by his then-partner, Anselmo. The song captures the vulnerability and resignation of moving on, contrasting sharply with the confident pop anthems that would define his subsequent solo career. While Patience was a critical success, it did not achieve the massive commercial breakthrough of his earlier work with Wham! or his later hits. The recording showcases Michael's evolving vocal style, blending soulful intensity with a more mature, introspective tone that would characterize his solo discography. It remains a significant song in his catalog, representing a specific moment in his personal life and artistic development during the mid-to-late 1980s.
