Heaven please send to all mankind
  Understanding and peace and mind
  But if it’s not asking too much
  Please send me someone to love
  Send me someone to love
  
  Show the world how to get along
  Peace we’ll enter when hate is gone
  But if it is not asking too much
  Please send me someone to love
  Please send me someone to love
  
  And I wake up and ponder the world’s trouble
  And my answer is always the same
  Now let’s put an end to this damn all of sin
  Hate will put the world in a flame, what a shame
  
  Just because I am in misery
  I don’t beg for no sympathy
  But if it is not asking too much
  Please send me someone to love
  Please send me someone to love
  
  Oh just because I am
  Just because I am in misery
  Oh and I don’t beg for no sympathy
  Oh but if it is not asking too much
  Please send me someone to love
  Please send me someone to love
  
  if it is not asking too much
  Please, please send me someone to love
