Please Send Me Someone To Love
Fiona Apple · Other Songs - Fiona Apple
Understanding and peace of mind.
But if it is not asking too much,
Please send me someone to love, someone to love.
Show the world how to get along,
And peace will enter, when hate is gone.
But if it's not asking too much,
Please send me someone to love,
Please send me someone to love.
I lie awake nights, and ponder a world of trouble
And my answer is always the same.
That unless man put an end to this damnable sin,
Hate will put the world beyond flame- what a shame.
Just because I'm ... 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'm ... 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."
