Dear God, please send me somebody who'll care
I'm so tired of running and sick with despair
My body is aching and filled with such pain;
And dear God I pray as I run in the rain

That someone will love me and give me a home
A warm cozy bed, and food of my own
My last owner left me alone in the yard
I watched as they moved, and God that was hard.

So I waited a while, then went on my way
To rummage in garbage and live as a stray
But now, God, I'm so tired and hungry and cold
And I'm so afraid that I'll never grow old

They've chased me with sticks,
And hit me with straps
While I run the streets just looking for scraps
I'm not really bad, God, please help if you can
For I have become just a "Victim of Man"

I'm wormy, dear God, and I'm ridden with fleas
And all that I want is an Owner to please
If you find one for me, God, I'll try to be good
I won't scratch the carpet; I'll do as I should

I'll love them, play with them, and try to obey
I will be so grateful if they'll let me stay
I don't think I'll make it too long on my own
'Cause I'm getting weak and I'm so all alone

Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry
'Cause I'm so afraid, God, that I'm gonna die
I've got so much love and devotion to give
That I should be given a new chance to live

So dear God, please hear me
please answer my prayer
And send me somebody
who will REALLY care
