I was not ready for the role I was so discontent to wear that heavy load So I got down on my knees Made a sucker's prayer And wrote a vote aloud for The end when nobody did respond I took my glasses off and went to find a pond Stuffing rocks into the pockets of my pants When I waited in, those currents carried them away I wanna love somebody but I don't know how I've been so long lonely and it's getting me down I wanna throw my body in the river and drown I wanna love somebody but I don't know how Instrumental So if you're lost a long way And if you're thinking that will always be the case Won't you listen to my plea? Make a sucker's prayer Just go and leave it there I wanna love somebody but I don't know how I've been so long lonely and it's getting me down I wanna throw my body in the river and drown I wanna love somebody but I don't know how I wanna love somebody but I don't know how
