My Lover’s Prayer Lyrics By Otis Redding

    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 old pressure bringing rain
    you keep me wanting waiting and wishing
    when i know deep down i’m not to blame

    what you gonna do tonight
    when you need some lovin’ arms to hold you tight
    tell me what you gonna do tonight
    when you need my heavy voice to tell you goodnight

    honey but you can’t let that be no problem
    you’ve got to come on home and help me solve it
    dear i won’t be missing you
    and honey my lover’s prayer would be all over oh my

    what can the matter be now
    it can’t be too serious we can’t talk it over
    living in this misery darling
    you can’t make my life all over

    honey but don’t you let that be no problem
    just come on home and help me solve it
    dear i won’t be missing you i won’t be missing you
    and my lover’s prayer would be all over
    it got to be all over honey all over

    don’t keep my life going round in so many circles
    this is my lover’s prayer come on come on come on home
    this is my lover’s prayer
    i’m singing out to you and i hope it will reach y’all
    this is my lover’s prayer i hope it gets to you
