Pray For Me
Anthony Hamilton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something told me deep inside "Better not do it"
What a dummy, such a dummy
To let some mess I shouldn't have did take you from me
Girl if I could take it back
It'd be so back
I'd be such an angel
You'd think that me and Jesus was cool
Everything between us be good
Girl I know what I should have done
Should have walked away the moment that I saw her coming
But I blew it, really blew it
And lost the only girl I love
Dear God, if you're listenin' now
I need you do a thing for me
You see my baby, she done up and walked out
I need you bring her back to me
I know that I was wrong, I was guilty in sin
Probably not priority
But dear God, if you're listenin' now
I'm down here, dyin', beggin', cryin'
Somebody need to pray for me
(Mhm)
(Mhm)
(Mhm)
Dear God if you're listening
(Mmh)
(Mmh)
(Mmh)
Thought I was something, really something
In the end, who knew I'd end up with nothing?
I was fronting, truly fronting
Girl, I really can't be mad, I had it coming
Guess if I was half the man I know I am
I would be so good that even Oprah be jealous of you
It's like that, yeah, like that
Everything between us be good
Girl I know what I should have done
Should have walked away the moment that I saw her coming
But I blew it, really blew it
And lost the only girl I love
Dear God, if you're listenin' now
Need you do one thing for me
You see my baby, she done up and walked out
I need you bring her back to me
I know that I was wrong, I was guilty in sin
Probably not priority (probably not priority)
But dear God, if you're listenin' now
I'm down here, dyin', beggin', cryin'
Somebody oughta pray for me
I'm making you this promise right now
If you can do this one thing for me
I'll be the man that you want
I'll be the man that you need
Church every Sunday
Prayers every Monday
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
Just bring my baby back to me
(Dear God, if you're listening now)
(Need you do a thing for me) need you do a thing for me
You see my baby, she done up and walked out
(I need you bring her back to me) ohoh
I know that I was wrong, I was guilty in sin
(Probably not priority)
But dear God, if you're listening now
I'm down here, dyin', (beggin'), cryin'
Somebody oughta pray for me
Oh, lord, lord, lord, lord
Please listen to my cry, yeah
Bring my baby back to me
Oh God, oh, oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
The lyrics to Anthony Hamilton's song Pray For Me are an expression of regret and remorse from the perspective of a man who has lost his lover due to his own mistakes. The song narrates the man's realization of how foolish he was to be unfaithful to his partner and how it has eventually cost him the only person he loves. Throughout the song, he expresses his desperation to have his partner back and his willingness to do anything, including praying to God to bring back his lover.
The man acknowledges that he made some stupid decisions and was simply fronting because, in the end, he had nothing left. However, he promises to change his ways and be a better man for his lover if God brings her back to him. He promises to change his lifestyle, attend church regularly, pray consistently, and make his relationship with his partner a priority. Overall, the song is a beautiful and emotional plea for forgiveness and a second chance.
