Distant lover
(Lover, 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
(Lover, lover, lover)
Ooh, you should think about me
And say a prayer for me
Please, please say you'll think about me sometimes
Think about me here
Here in misery
(Say you love me, say you love me, say you love me
Please, say you love me, please) Oh baby

And as I reminisce
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
(Lover, lover, lover)
Oh sugar, how can you treat my heart
So mean and cruel?
Didn't you know, sugar
That every moment that I spent with you
I treasure it, just like it was
A precious jewel
(Say you love me, say you love me, say you love me
Please, say you love me, please) Oh baby

Yeah, baby, whoo...
Baby, baby, baby, woo!

Something I wanna say
When you left (lover, lover, lover)
You took all of me with you
Now I'm wonderin'
Do you wanna hear me scream, baby
Come back home to me, darling
Oh, come back baby (lover, lover, lover)
(Say you love me, say you love me, say you love me
Please, say you love me, please)
(Lover, lover, lover...)
