Lyrics

Distant lover, lover Oh, so many miles away Oh, Heaven knows that I long for you Every night, every night and sometimes I yearn through the day Distant lover, oh lover You should think about me, say a prayer for me Please, please, baby Think about me sometime, think about me yeah Here in misery, misery As I reminisce Oh, baby, through our joyful summer together The promises we made of the daily letter Then all of a sudden everything seemed to explode Now I gaze out my window, sugar, down the lonesome road Distant lover, oh, sugar How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel Don't you know, sugar That every moment that I spent with you I treasured it like it was a precious jewel Oh, baby Lord, have mercy Oh baby, don't go Please come back, baby Something I wanna say When you left you took all of me with you Now, Lord I wonder do you wanna hear me scream and plead Please, please, please, come back home girl Please, baby, come back home
