Same Situation Lyrics

Again & again the same situation
For so many years
Tethered to a ringing telephone
In a room full of mirrors
A pretty girl in your bathroom
Checking out her sex appeal
I asked myself when you said you loved me
Do you think this can be real

Still I send up my prayer
Wondering where it had to go
With heaven full of astronauts
& the Lord on death row
While the millions of his lost & lonely ones
Call out & clamour to be found
Caught in the struggle for higher position
In the search for love that sticks around

You've had lots of lovely womenJoni Mitchell - Same Situation - http://motolyrics.com/joni-mitchell/same-situation-lyrics.html
Now you turn your gaze to me
Weighing the beauty & the imperfection
To see if I'm worthy
Like the church
Like a cop
Like a mother - you want to be truthful
Sometimes you turn it on me like a weapon though
& I need your approval

Still I send up my prayer
Wondering who's there to hear
I said, "Send me somebody
Who's strong
And somewhat sincere"
With the millions of the lost & lonely ones
I call out to be released
Caught in my struggle for higher achievements
And my search for love
That don't seem to cease
