Mama Say a Prayer Lyrics

The bright lights of the city are a pretty site to see 

Perhaps they're extra pretty to a country girl like me 

Temptation waits at every turn and it won't let me be 

So mama when you pray tonight 

Say a special prayer for me 

I miss your tender good-night kiss of love and understanding 

The good-night kisses I get now are cruel and so demanding 

So mama when you pray tonight 

And while you're on your knees 

Mama say a special prayer for me 

The nights get cold and lonely 

When you're faraway from home 

And lonely makes it easy for a good girl to go wrong 

Evil eyes search through the night for lonely girls like me 

So mama when you pray tonight 

Say a special prayer for me 

I miss your tender good-night kiss of love and understanding 

These good-night kisses I get now are cruel and so demanding 

So mama when you pray tonight 

And while you're on your knees 

Mama say a special prayer for me
