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
Youve had lots of lovely wo-men
Now you turn your gaze to me
Weigh-ing the beauty and the im-perfection
To see if Im 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 whos there to hear
I said, Send me some-bo- dy
Whos 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 dont seem to cease
