Nat King Cole - Send For Me Lyrics






When you want
A true lover
Send for me...send for me
You'll never want
Any other
Send for me...send for me
I promise you
I'll be true
Send for me...send for me

Anytime just tell me
Your problems
And you'll find out, baby
I'll solve 'em
If you're late one mornin'
Don't hurry
If you've got big trouble
Don't worry
Just depend
On your friend
Send for me...send for me

A-mornin', noon and night
In the early bright
Don't you fret, my pretty pet
I'm gonna treat you right

Don't you dare
Raise a hair
I'm gonna share
Your every care
Anywhere
Oh, yeah
Send for me...I'll be there

Anything
That upsets you
Send for me...send for me
I'll be there
To protect you
Wait and see...wait and see
Don't delay
Right away
Send for me...send for me

It's gonna be
Twiddle-deee
Yes sirree
You and me
Faithfully
Send for me

Nat King Cole Send For Me Comments
  1. V.... L....

    Slightly different style of singing for Nat King Cole...

  2. G.... A....

    Nat rocks out! He even had his own Jordanaires style backup group.

  3. S.... _....

    This is one of my most favorite songs by The King ! MR.NAT KING COLE ! He was my 1st love for voice / singer !!! I was only 4,or 5 ! I IMMEDIATELY FELL IN LOVE W/ HIS VOICE/ VOCALS ! The song was ' UNFORGETTABLE '!!! Then ,heard ' Mona Lisa' made me SPEECHLESS !!! His voice was just TOO SURREAL ! ANGELIC ! DIVINE ! He was the 1st vocalist made me go " WOW !" I do remember that sensation to this day ! I am now 53 ! Then I heard ' LOVE ' That became my number 1 song for a while ! So many people have sang ' Route 66 ' but nobody can / could sing it so COOL LIKE HIM ! That is my all time favorite ! That song is definitely one of the coolest songs I've ever heard / listened to in my life ! And Nat King Cole was / is still the BEST ! If you carefully listen to this lovely ' Sent For Me ' you can hear that he was having a lung problem that always makes me choke up ! I don't know it's true but I grew up hearing people telling me that his manager told him to smoke to keep up his sexy voice !? And he died from lung disease ? I'll google it now to make sure ! But that was what I was told ! Anyone knows ?

  4. M.... F....

    A Blues special from Nat!

  5. J.... G....

    Mellow. Smooth.

  6. d.... p....

    HEARD THIS AS A KID. 💘 IT.

  7. v.... ....

    Gone 54 years today! Never forgotten! Love this song Nat! Love the way you sing it!

  8. M.... N....

    I like both versions, his and Frankie Lymons.

  9. S.... B....

    ❤❤❤

  10. S.... J....

    Fallout

  11. G.... B....

    One of the Nat "King" Cole's greatest hits.

  12. T.... D....

    And he said he would NEVER record Rock`n`Roll......Er....whats this?

  13. G.... B....

    elvis step back!

  14. A.... R....

    Fun fun fun

  15. V.... B....

    Should've done more Rock n Roll..he killed this song! ...btw, I know they didn't, but it would have been a great cover song for The Beatles...adding their Mersey Beat and harmonies to this tune would have been very interesting!!

  16. R.... W....

    j'aime , merci !

  17. A.... ....

    I have the Capitol Records 78 RPM record of 'Send For Me'. Sounds great on vinyl!

    A.... ....

    I am super jealous !💜

  18. W.... J....

    should be on fallout

  19. A.... !....

    The Original Pimp Song

    A.... !....

    Harry W Smith , he is not being racist he is just saying that the lyrics of the song sound like he is a pimp for example "when you want, a true lover send for me, send for me," which is implying hey ladies you want some lovin then come over here. So he is not being racist, he was just making a joke about some of the lyrics

    A.... !....

    spot on

  20. R.... B....

    Like upbeat Nat or not, it's a nice change of pace, and timely for 1957.

  21. A.... V....

    Great recording of this great Olie Jones song

  22. D.... W....

    nat could make three blind mice sound fantastic where have the singers gone like nat cole matt monro and francis albert

    D.... W....

    @Dave Wiseman Don't forget Al Martino.

  23. J.... G....

    Looking for a cover of this song by the Rockin Rockettes from Chicago but can't find it anywhere.  If anyone knows of it, please link! 

  24. M.... S....

    To mills brothers,
    I am choosing to dedicate this video clip in honor my Dad of whom passed away early saturday morning between 7-9am cst from pneumonia b / lung cancer. He was a grew guy and a gentleman too Phil Slimm October 16th, 1930 - January 18th, 2014

    M.... S....

    I am sorry for your loss !

  25. H.... P....

    Nat gettin down.  Elegantly of course, as was his way.

  26. p.... ....

    smoking track

  27. k.... ....

    Some one gave me this record when I was 10 in 1977 , it was a B side & it spun at 78rpm. I liked it & played quite a bit until I accidentally broke it cos it was made of shellac

  28. T.... C....

    Haha! Indeed! He is one of the very best singers/pianist ever! And his rock n roll numbers really get me bopping! Seeing as thats my personal genre :) Hope ya liked "Do I like it" by him. charted very highly in the R&B charts ;)

  29. K.... G....

    for five years I still can't detox myself from this Spectacular song. Instead I have contaminated many people with these soothing words and groovy lyrics. Nat lives for ever. He must have been a Suten Ra i when Nubia/Kemet ruled. . Then he sent us James Brown, Frank Sinatra, Little Richard, Elvis, John Lennon and the King of Kings Michael Jackson.And last me to enjoy it all.

  30. T.... C....

    Do I like it- Nat King Cole- Is another one of his few rock n roll songs, look hard enough ya cant begin to believe the gems you can find of Nat King Cole! :)

  31. T.... ....

    This was Capitol Records trying to cash in as rock and roll began to fill the charts and ballad singers were feeling the pinch. His daughter Natalie said in a TV tribute after his death that he didn't really enjoy having to sing these songs. He also wasn't very keen on making the album of 'sing along' songs which included Goodnight Irene, When You're Smiling, etc. Although 'Rambling Rose' from this album was a big hit for him.

  32. m.... ....

    This hit by Nat "King" Cole would finish at #40 for the year, 1957. And the hits are starting to get big. Who will be #1? Stay tuned.

  33. s.... ....

    On this day in 1957 {June 17th} "Send For Me" entered Billboard's Best Selling chart; eventually it peaked at #6 and spent over a half-year on the chart {27 weeks}...
    The B-side also charted, "My Personal Possession", it reached #21...
    Mr. Cole passed away on February 15th, 1965 at the young age of 45...
    May he R.I.P.

    s.... ....

    I thought somehow he passed away in 1964 !? Thanks for all the records of his hits !

  34. e.... t....

    i spend two years looking for that song ...my cd was stolen...finally,,,i miss my kids when im listening this one........nat king cole ,,,no other one e can beat that,,,,

  35. w.... e....

    heat 160....guess you weren't there...sounds like the original to me...what sweet memories.....summer of 1957....1948 Pontiac convv...little bolnde carol sue.....& there can be no better version of this song....Ft knox Ky...broke Patty T. heart....

  36. c.... ....

    Loooooooooooove This!

  37. C.... ....

    It doesn't matter how bad people think music has gotten- the classics never, ever die.

  38. J.... T....

    Actually my father, Julius Dixson and Ollie Jones wrote this song. The basic verse up to the 1st change is my father's contribution. Ollie wrote the changes or bridge parts. This is the only song my father doesn't get credit for. Long story for this write. But you will find Ollie and my father on other songs that my father soley wrote. They were close friends and that's what happens sometimes in close relationships. Anyway, the story will come out one day.

    J.... T....

    That's so FABULOUS ! I know the entertainment business things ! The credits are often false ! I've got mine stolen ,so many of them .And even some of the standard jazz stuff's credits are not always true ones & yes like you said here ,in between friends that happens ! Some people do that for friendships & also some personal reasons ! Sone are very generous .This song is truly one of the most GORGEOUS love songs & rock'n'roll/ blues/Motown (can I say this ?) songs ! You must be very very proud of your dad ! BRAVO ! Huge respects to your dad ! 👍👍👍💜💙❤💞💕🥁😻

  39. R.... ....

    timeless AND ageless?!

  40. B.... G....

    Why does this version sound so different..?the one I'm used to hearing is more bluesey.

  41. w.... ....

    Oh but how sweet it is! :-D

  42. s.... ....

    I love this! Nat King Cole's music is timeless and ageless.

  43. D.... ....

    BROOK IS RIGHT!!

  44. b.... ....

    Are you sure about the composer? Didn't Brook Benton write this song in 1957? I have it on a CD. It is a great song. Has more of that be-bop sound from the pre-Rock '50s. And the album version I have is done in a little faster tempo and has a much better instrumental bridge.

  45. R.... C....

    This was Nat only's foray into Rock and Roll which he didn't like.

  46. s.... ....

    brill classic R&B
