Distant lover, lover (Lover, lover, lover)

Ooh, so many miles away, ooh

Heaven knows that I long for you

Every night, every night and sometimes I yearn through the day

Distant lover, ooh (Lover, lover, lover), lover

You should think about me, say a prayer for me

Please, please baby, think about me sometimes

Think about me here, here in misery

(Save me, baby, save me, baby, save me, baby)

Misery (Please, save me, baby, please)

(Baby) As I reminisce, ah baby

Through our joyful summer together

(Oh, baby) The promises we made

All the daily letters

Then all of a sudden

Everything seemed to explode (Wow)

Now I gaze out my window

Sugar, down a lonesome road

Distant lover (Lover, lover, lover), ooh sugar

How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel? Didn't you know, sugar

That every moment that I spent with you (Every moment)

I treasured it (Every moment) like it was precious jewel, ah baby

(Save me, baby, save me, baby, save me, baby)

Lord, have mercy (Please, save me, baby, please), ooh

Oh baby, don't go

Please, come back, baby

Something I want to say (Lover, lover, lover)

When you left, you took all of me with you

My Lord, I wonder, do you want to hear me scream, plead and plead, "Please"? (Every moment)

Oh please, baby (Every moment)

Come back home, little girl (Every moment)

Oh, baby (Every moment)

Please
