Distant Lover

[Verse 1]

Distant lover, lover

(Lover, lover, lover)

Woo-hoo, so many miles away, ooh, ooh

Heaven knows that I've longed for you

Every night, every night

And sometimes I yearn through the day, hoo-ooh

Distant lover, hoo, hoo, lover

(Lover, lover, lover)

You should think about me

Say a prayer for me

Please, please baby

You should think about me sometime (Ooh-hoo)

Think about me here in misery

(See me, baby, won't you see me, baby

Won't you see me, baby, won't you)

[Bridge]

As I reminisce, ah, baby, through our joyful summer together

Promises we made on the day you left, child

And all of a sudden everything seemed to explode

Now I gaze out my window, sugar

'Cause I'm lonesome alone

[Verse 2]

Distant lover

(Lover, lover, lover)

Sugar, how can you treat my heart so mean and cruel

Didn't you know sugar that

Every moment that I spent with you

I treasured it like it was precious jewels, ooh

(See me, baby, won't you see me, baby)

Hey baby

(Won't you see me, baby, won't you)

Lord have mercy, hoo-hoo

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Ooh

(Every moment)

If you come back to me, baby

(Every moment)

I can't live without your lovin'

(Every moment)

Ooh-hoo-hoo-ooh-hoo

(Every moment)

[Outro]

Hoo-ooh, something I wanna say

(Lover, lover, lover)

When you left and took all of me with you

Baby please, please, please

Won't you come on back home to me, girl

No one, no one could ever be like you

And oh, can't you come on back to me, baby

Woo-ooh-hoo-ooh-ooh

Please baby, come back to me

Make this house a home again, oh
