[Intro] You know when you’re in love and your lover leaves you And you’ve got nobody the lonely hours over here Sittin’ home and thinkin’ you say: [Verse] Distant lover (lover lover lover) Ooh So many miles away Oh how I long for you Every night and sometimes I yearn through the day [Verse] Distant lover (lover lover lover) You should think about me Say a prayer for me Please oh please baby think about me sometime Think about me yeah in misery Oh say it baby [Bridge] As I reminisce our joyful summer together The promises we made of a daily letter Then all of a sudden everything seemed to explode Now I gaze out my window down that lonesome road [Verse] Distant lover (lover lover lover) How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel? Didn’t you know sugar that every moment That I spend with you I treasure it like it was (a) precious jewel Oh baby (Lord have mercy) [Solo] [Verse] Something I wanna say: When your love took all of me with you Never woman do you want to hear me scream "Please please oh please" Come back home Oh baby please darlin’ Come back home
