Skinny little girl like you Shouldn't be out here on the street alone Tired and it's getting late And you keep on lying on the telephone And he says, wait a minute, don't hang up I never thought I'd say this to anyone I think I'm gonna pray for you I think I'm gonna pray for you I think I'm gonna pray for you I think I'm gonna pray for you You wake up in a nice cold sweat No one you know is sleeping anywhere near You try to make him out forget But the heavens know that you haven't been clear And she says, you don't hold me like you used to So he held her hand and whispered in her ear I think I'm gonna pray for you I think I'm gonna pray for you I think I'm gonna pray for you I think I'm gonna pray for you Instrumental So I'm gonna stay on my knees Right here in the dirt With my hands deep enough Cause even though it may hurt I think I'm gonna pray for you I think I'm gonna pray for you I think I'm gonna pray for you I think I'm gonna pray for you I think I'm gonna pray for you I think I'm gonna pray for you
