Story Behind The Song

I had these lyrics about a woman desperately praying to God for someone to love, inspired by conversations with my single friends and acquaintances. Michael and I decided that a Stevie Wonderesque clavinet R&B blues feel would make this song fun.

Song Description

Lyrics

Lyrics and Music by Mary Huddleston and Michael Waxman

I NEED

I need some love and understanding, I need someone's hand to hold
I need a shoulder to cry on and I need shelter from the cold
Lord, won't you send me the one before I'm too old

I need honesty and passion, I need arms to hold me tight
I need someone to count on and I need comfort in the night
Lord, won't you send me the one who'd be so right

Lord, I've been patient, begging pretty please
For you to send the one who'd fulfull all my needs
I think I'll just stay down on my knees 'til you send him to me because

I need moonlight and flowers, I need whispers in the dark
I need someone to romance me and I need promises from the heart
Lord, won't you send me the one who'd never depart

Lord, I've been patient Lord, I've been good
I am not a bad girl, I'm just misunderstood
I think I'll just stay down on my knees 'til you send him to me because

I need some love and understanding, I need someone's hand to hold
Lord, won't you send me the one
Oh, please. won't you send me the one,
You've got to, Lord, send me the one
Before I'm too old

I need someone
