Distant lover, lover Oooh, so many miles away Heaven knows that I've longed for you Every night, every night And sometimes I yearn through the day Distant lover You should think about me Say a prayer for me Please, please baby You should think about me sometime Think about me here in misery As I reminisce, through our joyful summer together Promisies we made or the day you left child And all of a sudden everything seemed to explode Now I gaze out my window, sugar Cuz I'm lonesome now Distant 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 Hey baby, lord have mercy You have to come back to me baby I can't live without your lovin' Something I wanna say When you left and took all of me with you Baby please, please, please Won't you come on back No one could ever be like you Can't you come on back to me baby Please baby, come back to me Make this house a home again
