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
