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:
Distant lover, darlin´, ooo hoo hoo So many miles away, ooo please Oh please, baby, think about me Hey, in misery Oh say, baby, as I reminisce about your life That we shared together The promises we made, baby Of the day you left, child Then all of a sudden, if it may seem to explode Now I gaze out my window, sugar, down a lonesome road, ooo
Distant lover, ooo, sugar How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel Didn´t you know, sugar, that I dream Of what I spent with you
I treasure it like it was a precious jewel, oh baby Lord have mercy!
Oh baby, don´t go Please come back, baby Ooo, something I wanna say When you left to go away No ´ther do I want, do you wanna have me plead and scream Please! Please, oh please baby Come back home, girl Oh baby, come back Oh oh
