I can't sleep, who am I foolin'
I got a fever that ain't coolin'
Lyin' awake just thinkin' about my baby
I just watch the clock
Tick tock tick tock tick tock
On time, I can count on my baby

I'm on my knees (Lord Lord)
Won't you listen to my plea (Lord Lord)
She's on a trip across the sea (Lord Lord)
With her mommy and her daddy
She's the only girl (Lord Lord)
In this whole wide world (Lord Lord)
One day my ring she'll wear
Please bring her back from there
This is my lover's prayer

For three long weeks
I've been cryin' myself to sleep
If I have to wait the whole eight
I will surely die
I can't stand no more
My baby's on some distant shore
Lying in the sun
Having all kinds of fun
Without me

I'm on my knees (Lord Lord)
Won't you listen to my plea (Lord Lord)
She's on a trip across the sea (Lord Lord)
With her mommy and her daddy
She's the only girl (Lord Lord)
In this whole wide world (Lord Lord)
One day my ring she'll wear
Please bring her back from there
This is my lover's prayer

Her mommy and her daddy think
I'm gonna be her ruination
They think I'll take her by the hand
And walk her straight into eternal Damnation
So, in a bug-eyed frenzy
They dragged her on this damn vacation
But, in the end true love always wins

I'm on my knees (Lord Lord)
Won't you listen to my plea (Lord Lord)
She's on a trip across the sea (Lord Lord)
With her mommy and her daddy
She's the only girl (Lord Lord)
In this whole wide world (Lord Lord)
One day my ring she'll wear
Please bring her back from there
This is my lover's prayer

I'm on my knees (Lord Lord)
Won't you listen to my plea (Lord Lord)
She's on a trip across the sea (Lord Lord)
With her mommy and her daddy
She's the only girl (Lord Lord)
In this whole wide world (Lord Lord)
One day my ring she'll wear
Please bring her back from there
This is my lover's prayer
One day my ring she'll wear
Please bring her back from there
This is my lover's prayer
