Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh
Uh
See i've been searching for a guy like you for all my life
So when you came around you nearly blew my mind
You're so beautiful both inside and out and you
Got to be the finest man i've ever seen without doubt
But I can sleep can't think
And it's driving me crazy and I need some sleep
So can you say a little prayer for me
Say a little prayer for me
When I'm surrounded by you I get weak
Won't you say a little prayer for me
So I won't miss this opportunity
Say a little prayer for me
When I get my words together I can't speak
Won't you say a little prayer for me
Cause Lord knows I need
Well I don't know why I get so shy around you
You're a wonderful guy and I just want everything I do to be right
Now is my chance to tell you how I feel, yeah
And I want you to know that my love is always here for you
But every time I think of how I'm gonna approach you
And look you in the eye I don't know what to do
So say a little prayer
Say a little prayer for me
When I'm surrounded by you I get weak
Won't you say a little prayer for me
So I won't miss this opportunity
Say a little prayer for me
When I get my words together I can't speak
Won't you say a little prayer for me
Cause Lord knows I need
Ooh
Ooowooah
I wanna laugh with you
I wanna laugh with you
And I wanna cry with you
I wanna cry with you
I wanna be hear with you
Wanna be here with you
With you and only you
And only you
Say a little prayer for me
When I'm surrounded by you I get weak
Won't you say a little prayer for me
So I won't miss this opportunity
Say a little prayer for me
When I get my words together I can't speak
Won't you say a little prayer for me
Cause Lord knows I need
