Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
If it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love, someone to love

Show the world how to get along
Peace will enter when hate is gone
So if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love, someone to love

Nights I lay awake and ponder the world's troubles
And my answer is always the same
Yet unless man puts an end to this damnable sin
Hate will put the world in a flame, what a shame

Just because I'm, because I'm in misery
I don't ask for no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

Nights I lay awake and ponder the world's troubles
And my answer is always the same
Yet unless man puts an end to this damnable sin
Hate is gonna put the world in a flame, oh what a shame

Just because I'm, because I'm in misery
I don't ask for no, no, no sympathy, yeah
But if it's not asking too much, asking too much
Please send me someone to love

Please, please, please send me someone to love
Send me someone to love, yeah
