 A-gain and again the same sit-u-a-tion

 For so man-y years

Teth-ered to a ringing tel-e-phone

 In a room full of mir-rors

 A pret-ty girl in your bath-room

Check-ing out her sex appeal

 I asked myself when you said you loved me

 “Do you think this can be real?”

 Still I sent up my prayer

 Wondering where it had to go

 With heaven full of as- tro-nauts

 And the Lord on death row

 While the mil-li-ons of his lost and lonely ones

 Call out and cla-mor to be found

 Caught in the strug-gle for higher po-si-tions

 And their search for love

It sticks a-round

 You’ve had lots of lovely wo-men

 Now you turn your gaze to me

Weigh-ing the beauty and the im-perfection

 To see if I’m wor-thy

 Like the church, like a cop, like a mo-ther

You want me to be truth-ful

 Sometimes you turn it on me like a wea-pon, though

 And I need your ap-pro-val

 Still I sent up my prayer

 Wondering who’s there to hear

 I said, “Send me some-bo- dy

 Who’s strong and some-what sincere

 With the mil-lions of the lost and lone-ly ones

I called out to be released

 Caught in my strug-gle for higher a-chieve-ments

 And my search for love

It don’t seem to cease
