One Man’s Prayer Lyrics by Regina Spektor
I just want some girl to love me back
Tell me I’m her only, and
Take away the lonely days
Deep love in my heart can’t go to waste
‘Cause if I won’t get to meet God
And I won’t get to be a god
Then at least, God, let me get loved back by a girl
I just want some girl to talk to me
And tell me that I’m different, or
Say that I’m the same
I don’t care what she thinks, just think of me
‘Cause if I won’t get to meet God
And I won’t get to be a god
Then at least, God, let me get talked to by a girl
This is what I want
This is what I need
If I ask real nice
Will you give her to me?
If I just say please
This is what I need
But if I can’t have that
Well, then at least
I just want some girl to look my way
And see that I am better than the others
That I matter in her life
I want to be a friend
‘Cause if I won’t get to meet God
And I won’t get to be a god
Then at least, God, let me get noticed by a girl
In this great world
We just have to live
But you can’t let love lust from above
But if I do have the choice
I’ll just put one foot in front of the other
I’ll say one word after another with my voice
If I have a choice
I just want some girl beneath my feet
To tell me I’m her king
And then beg me for a ring
And I want her to be afraid of me
And think that I might leave her
And that I will not believe her
When she says that she loves and cares for me
‘Cause if I won’t get to meet God
And I won’t get to be a god
Then at least, God, let me get worshipped by a girl
In this great world
We just pine to live
But you can’t let love lust from above
This is what I want
This is what I need
If I ask real nice
Will you give her to me?
If I just say please
This is what I need
But if I can’t have that
Well, then at least
This is what I want (This is what I want)
This is what I say (This is what I say)
And this is what I pray
