Heaven placing to all mankind Understanding and peace of mind

And if it's not asking too much

Please send me someone to love

Oh, someone to love

Show the world how to get along

Peace will entail when hate is gone

But if it's not asking too much

Please send me someone to love

Someone to love

Nights I've been awake

Under world's trouble

My answer is always the same

Unless man put an end

To this devil's sin

Hate will put the world in a flame

Oh, just because I'm in misery

I don't beg for, don't want no sympathy

And if it's not asking too much

Please send me someone to love

Oh, somebody to love

Just because I'm in misery

I don't beg for nobody's sympathy

And if it's not asking too much

Please send me someone to love

Oh baby, I need, I need

I want somebody, I got to have somebody

Oh, send me someone to love
