I Say a Little Prayer
Various Artists - Avid Entertainment Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now
And wondering what dress to wear now
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be a heartbreak for me

I run for the bus, dear
While riding I think of us, dear
I say a little prayer for you
At work, I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
Will love you
Forever and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be a heartbreak for me

I say a little prayer for you
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be a heartbreak for me

My darling, believe me
For me there is no one
But you, please love me too
I'm in love with you
Answer my prayer, babe

I'm in love with you
Answer my prayer, babe
Say you love me too
Answer my prayer, babe
I'm in love with you
Answer my prayer, babe

I say a little prayer for you




I say a little prayer for you
I say a little prayer for you

This is the ultimate "Okay, and?" moment...

@Monkforilla

Heā€™s just asking a question heā€™s not trying to get her in a gotcha moment heā€™s genuinely asking because she joked about it the night before and a lot of people beside him were wondering

@GayBennyyy

@@Monkforilla i don't think they were implying otherwise

@angelicabudden6177

I don't know guys

@turtle_cat_thang802

@@Monkforilla Although he is genuinely curious that does not change the fact that it's an inappropriate question that should not be asked in an interview with an entertainer. She's not even a pornstar (who still isn't obligated to answer). Her genitalia has nothing to do with how she performs. Irrelevant, unnecessary, and upsetting so she matched the vibe.

@OfficialReckM8

@@turtle_cat_thang802 Are you seriously talking about inappropriate vs appropriate when talking about Lady Gaga? This question is right down her alley. She's just easily offended and touchy about her body. If she doesn't want to answer questions, don't got to interviews.

@777associate

No she didnā€™t you goofball she just deceived everyone again she knows itā€™s true but she doesnā€™t want to lose credibility.

@user-qs4pw9jg9p
