lyrics

I’ve been praying for me
That’s why I get what I want
I said, I’ve been praying for me
That’s why I get what I want

I feel like shakin’ (the earth under my feet)
I feel like quakin’ (the drums come from the deep)
Is this the feelin’ that I paid for? (Your love don’t come cheap)
Givin’ it up (hey!) Givin’ it up (ho!)

I got nothing but flowers baby
They burst forth and bloom to give praise to the lord
We get all that we ask for baby

I’ve been praying for me
That’s why I get what I want
I said you know I’ve been praying for me
That’s why I get what I want

I’m feeling caged in (shackles on my feet)
Feel like I’m fading (but my heart’s still on the beat)
But I'm shining all the same lord (this feeling don’t come cheap)
Givin’ it up (hey) Givin’ it up (ho)

I got nothing but flowers baby
They burst forth and bloom to give praise to the lord
We get all that we ask for baby

I’ve been praying for me
That’s why I get what I want
I said you know, I’ve been praying for me
That’s why I get what I want

I’ve been praying for me
That’s why I get what I want
I said you know I’ve been praying for me
That’s why I get what I want

I’ve been praying for me
That’s why I get what I want
I said you know, I’ve been praying for me
That’s why I get what I want
That’s why I get what I want
That’s why I get what I want
