I was not ready for the roar
I was discontent to wear that heavy load
And so I got down on my knees
Beneath the sucker's prayer
I would go there before

And when nobody did respond
I out my glasses on and went to find a pond
Sending rocks into the pockets of my pants

I wanna love somebody but I don't know how
And 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

So if you're lost along the way
And if you think that it'll always be this way
Won't you listen to my plea
You'll pick a sucker's prayer
Just go an be there anyway

I wanna love somebody but I don't know how
And 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
