"Distant Lover"


Distant lover (lover, lover, lover), hoo
So many miles away, ooh baby
Heaven knows that I long for you
Every night, every night
Sometimes through the night
Distant lover (lover, lover, lover), oh lover
You should think about me
Say a prayer for me, baby
Oh please baby
Think about me
Waiting here
Here in misery
Oh no baby
Ooh
As I reminisce, sometimes, of our joyful summer together
Promises we made
All the daily letters
Then, all of a sudden
It seemed to explode
I gaze out my window
Staying down a lonesome road
Oh no, baby
Distant lover (lover, lover, lover)
Sugar, sugar how can you treat me
So mean and cruel
Don't you know, don't you know
That I dream of you
I treasure it baby like it was a, like it was a precious jewel
Oh no

Don't go, baby
Oh baby
Don't go
Don't go
Oh please, come back, baby
Somethin' I just wanna say
Somethin' I wanna say
Baby, when you went away
Baby, you took all of me with you, baby
No, there's nothing that I want
Oh baby
Do you need to hear me scream
Do you want to hear me plead
Oh, come back baby
