Distant lover, lover,
(Lover, lover, lover, lover.)
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, so many miles away.
(Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.) Heaven knows that I long for you every night.
Every night I pray
And sometimes I dance through the day.
Distant lover. Oooh, oooh, oooh, lover.
You should think about me and say a prayer for me.
Please, please baby, think about me sometimes.
Think about me in misery. Oh.
(Say you love me, say you love me, say you love me, please say you love me.)
Misery.

As I reminisce, oh baby, through our joyful summer together,
The promises we made, all the daily letters.
(Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.)
Then all of a sudden, everything seems to explode. (Pow!)
Now I gaze out my window, sugar, down a lonesome road.

Distant lover.
(Lover, lover, lover, lover.) Oooh, oooh, sugar.
How can you treat my heart, baby, so mean and cruel.
Didn't you know, sugar, that every moment that I spent with you,
I treasured them like it was precious jewels.
Please say you love me, say you love me, say you love me,
(please say you love me.) Lord have mercy.

Oooh. Oooh, oooooooh, oooh.
Just say I love you, keep me forever.
Ahhhhhhh.
Oh, baby, don't go.
Please come back, baby.

Something I wanna say, (Lover, lover, lover, lover.)
When you left, you took all of me with you.
Now all I want from you, baby,
Do you wanna...Do you wanna hear me scream please,
Please, please, oh please, baby.
Come back home, girl.
Oh, baby. Please.
