Píseň: Send Me Some Lovin'

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
Mr. Soul
(Send me some loving)
 Mmm, send it, I pray
 How can I love you
 When you're so far away


 Whoa, honey
 Send me your picture
 Oh, send it, my dear
 So I can hold it and
 Pretend you are near


 Can you send me your kisses
 I still feel your touch
 And, oh, I need you so badly
 I want you so much


 My days are so lonely
 Oh, my nights are so blue
 I'm here and I'm longing
 And I'm waiting for you


 Now, I want you to
 (Send me some loving)
 Send me some of that loving, baby
 (Send it, I pray)


 Send it, I, I, I pray
 (How can I love you)
 How in the world can I love you
 (When you're so far away)
 When you're so, so, so far away


 (Send me your picture)
 Send me your picture, baby
 (Send it, my dear)
 Oh, send it, my dear


 (So I can hold it)
 I want so badly to hold it
 (And pretend you are near)
 And I, I wanna pretend
 That you're near


 (Send me some loving)
 Send your loving, baby
 (Send it, I pray)
 Oh, send it, I, I, I...
