[Intro: Sylvia & Kevin Keyes]
I miss you, baby
I need you, baby (Baby yeah, ooh, oh baby)
When you lose the one you love
It's such a cold, cold [?] feeling
You know, they see a girl ain't supposed to cry
But when I lost you, baby
You know, the tears can streaming from my eyes
I came home from work and said, "Baby, why'd you leave me?"
And I felt down on my knees and I cryed

[Verse 1: Sylvia & Kevin Keyes]
(Distant lover) Distant lover
(Lover, lover, lover)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) So many, so many miles away
Heaven knows (Heaven knows)
I long for you (I long for you)
Every night (Every)
And sometimes I yearn through the day (Lover, lover, lover)

[Verse 2: Sylvia & Kevin Keyes]
(Distant lover) Distant lover
(Lover, lover, lover)
(You should think about me) You should think about me
Say a prayer for me
(Please) You know, I think about you all the time
So think about me here
In my misery (Please)
Oh, save me, baby
Oh, Lord have mercy
[Bridge: Sylvia]
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
Down a lonesome road

[Verse 3: Sylvia & Kevin Keyes]
Distant lover
(Lover, lover, lover)
How can you treat my heart
So mean and so cruel?
Didn't you know, baby?
Every moment that I spent with you
Oh, good God, I treasure it (Lover, lover, lover)
Baby, like it was a precious jewel
Oh, save me, baby
Lord have mercy

[Outro: Sylvia]
(My love, my love, my love)
You know
This somethin' I wanna say to you, baby
Today you left, when you left, you know?
You took all of me with you
Now [?] do I have to, do I have to screameda and plead?
Uh! Oh, please! Oh, please!
Come back, come back home
(Lover, lover, lover)
Distant lover
(Lover, lover, lover)
My love, my lover
Please [?] me
Come back, come back
I need you, I need you right now
Oh, baby! Oh, baby, come back where you belong
