I Once Prayed

I once prayed to God for a girlfriend And I believed to me one he would send, One who be my helper, I was excited to meet her And for her to be with me unto the end. I prayed to God every single night And I prayed with all my soul and might, Hoping for an answer to my prayer, my life to share With a girlfriend that I would always treat right. Of course I was married and I had girlfriends before But, that story is told in a different lore, They lied and they cheated, and those sins they repeated Then they snuck out the backdoor. I said to God a girlfriend wouldn't have to be brand new Just someone that I could love too, She'd be at my side, unto her my life I would confide Someone to which I could say, "I Love You! " I had even tried again and again online dating To help me pick and choose a woman to end my waiting, But, I figured out it was a scam, and they didn't give a damn I always continued my frustrating. In my prayer to God as I always spoke I was always sorry if the Lord I did awoke, I know he has more on his plate, than finding me a date So, prayers and help from him I humbly did invoke. I once prayed to God to send me a woman dear To bring me joy and also to wipe away my every tear, Maybe we'd share my house, maybe one day she'd be my spouse I am still alone, and I'm still waiting here.
