Sweet sugar, pumping through my veins. everywhere is on a wire
Sweet sugar, you say it's just a game, soon to be your one desire
When the devil holds your hand, then you know he's in command of temptation
Like the beauty of a rose, or a summer that will go, where's salvation.

chorus
Say a little prayer,
Say a little prayer for me
Say a little prayer,
Say a little prayer for me

Sweet sugar, your world just tumbles down, how you hunger for illusion
Sweet sugar, will take more than you own, all you have is your confusion
You'll be standing in the rain, you'll be crying out in shame, for mercy
So you turn to every man, say you need a helping hand, don't desert me

chorus

I don't know what I've done with my life
I don't want to think of all this wasted time
I was in search of paradise
Yet this seems a heavy price to pay

chorus

Won't you say a prayer...
