The Front Desk - Send Me Somebody To Love

{Verse 1}
Telling yourself that you’re better at being alone
Is one thing, is one thing
But leaving the bar with nobody there to take you home
Is another, is another
I’ve been spending too many nights with nobody to groove me, nobody to soothe me, nobody to move me

{Chorus}
So I pray to the lord above to send me somebody to love
I need a painter, a trainer, a showy entertainer
I need a professor, hair dresser, a property assessor
I need a lady, or maybe someone a little shady
Lord if you can hear me prayin’ please don’t keep this sinner waitin’
Not tonight

{Verse 2}
They say nobody ever treats your body just the way that you do
I wish somebody would try to, I wish somebody would try to
Every cigarette that I smoke is missing half the sensation
I think I need a cessation, I guess I need an occasion
I've been spending too many nights doing nothing but waiting
For somebody who can leave me shaking, my body aching

{Chorus}
So I pray to the lord above to send me somebody to love
I need a preacher, a teacher, a motivational speaker
I need a driver, designer, a district supervisor
I need a docta' to talk ta' my fever's gettin' hotta'
Lord if you can hear me prayin' please don't leave this sinner waiting
Not tonight

{Trombone solo}

{Chorus}
I need a preacher, a teacher, a motivational speaker
I need a driver, designer, a district supervisor
I need a docta' to talk ta' my fever's gettin' hotta'
Lord if you can hear me prayin' please don't leave this sinner waiting
Not tonight
