Answer lyrics
by Kelly Rowland
[Verse 1]
Year after year
Though every dream of a pony would end in tears
The cake was lit and as you blew the candles out
Your heart refilled
And every year
Your dream was killed
[Pre-Chorus]
It may take an ocean of whiskey and time
To wash all of the letdown out of your mind
And this may not be the thing you requested but I
Am the answer to all your prayers
[Chorus]
All this time, interested agents have been eavesdropping upstairs
When will you recognize that I am the answer to all your prayers?
[Verse 2]
You ordered well
They brought you medium rare
You were promised fair
And in response a clap of thunder broke the air
The weather changed
The sky went black
And then it rained
[Pre-Chorus]
It may take an ocean of whiskey and time
To wash all of the letdown out of your mind
And this may not be the item you selected but I
Am the answer to all your prayers
[Chorus]
All this time, the surveillance machine has been all up in your affairs
When will you realize that I am the answer to all your prayers?
[Bridge]
It might seem like a thankless existence
But don't lose hope just yet
You'll be remembered for your persistence
And this is the thanks you get
[Verse 3]
You wanted tall
I came in under 5′4″
Then you asked for dark
I tend to sunburn a lot
As for handsome, well
Can't help you there
So make of it what you will
[Pre-Chorus]
It may take an ocean of whiskey and time
To wash all of the letdown out of your mind
And I may not be the one you expected but I
Am the answer to all your prayers
[Chorus]
All this time, interested agents have been eavesdropping upstairs
When will you get that I am the answer to all your prayers?
All this time, the surveillance machine has been all up in your affairs
It should be clear to you by now that I am the final answer to all your prayers
