Distant lover, lover So many miles away Heaven knows that I long for you Every night, every night And sometimes I yearn Through the day Distant lover You should think about me And say a prayer for me Please, please baby Think about me sometimes Think about me here Here in misery, misery As I reminisce, oh baby Through our joyful summer together The promises we made All the daily letters Then, all of a sudden Everything seemed to explode Now, I gaze out my window Sugar, down a lonesome road Distant lover Sugar, how can you treat my heart So mean and cruel? Sugar, sugar That every moment when I spent with you I treasure it like it was A precious j**el, oh baby Lord have mercy Oh baby, don't go Please, come back baby Somethin' I wanna say When you left you took all of me with you My Lord I wonder Do you wanna hear me scream, plead And please, please, oh please baby Come back and hold me, girl Baby please, please
