[Intro]
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen

You recognize may recognize this theme from my Trouble Man album
It's one of my favorite themes so I'm gonna have Gene play some here, I thought it was very fitting
We're going to do a thing now that I hope you enjoy
Some people told me, "You know, when you're in love, and your lover leaves you, and you got nobody."
The lonely hours come over you
You sit and while they think, you say...

[Verse 1]
Distant lover, lover
(Lover, lover, lover) Lover
Woo-hoo, so many miles away, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, oh, how I long for you every night, every night
And sometimes I dance through the day
Distant lover, woo-hoo
(Lover, lover) Lover (Lover)
You should think about me
Say a prayer for me
Please, oh please, baby, think about me sometimes
Think about me here, hey, in misery
Oh, say it, baby

[Bridge]
As I reminisce through our joyful summer together
The promises we made, baby
All the daily letters
Then all of a sudden, everything seems to explode (Pow)
Now I gaze out my window, sugar, down a lonesome road
Woo
[Verse 2]
Distant lover
(Lover, lover, lover) Ooh, ooh, 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 it like it was a precious jewel
Oh, baby
Lord have mercy

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
I treasured it, baby, and you wanna leave, woo
Oh, baby, don't go
(Wow)
Please come back, baby

[Outro]
Woo-ooh
(Lover, lover, lover) Something I wanna say
When you left, you took all of me with you
Now all I want
Do you wanna hear me scream, please, please, oh please, baby
Come back home
Oh, baby, oh, oh baby
Please, Lord, oh, ooh, come back home
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
