[Verse 1]
Distant lover, lover
(Lover, lover, lover)
Woo-hoo, so many miles away, ooh, ooh
Heaven knows that I've longed for you
Every night, every night
And sometimes I yearn through the day, hoo-ooh
Distant lover, hoo, hoo, lover
(Lover, lover, lover)
You should think about me
Say a prayer for me
Please, please baby
You should think about me sometime (Ooh-hoo)
Think about me here in misery
(See me, baby, won't you see me, baby
Won't you see me, baby, won't you)

[Bridge]
As I reminisce, ah, baby, through our joyful summer together
Promises we made on the day you left, child
And all of a sudden everything seemed to explode
Now I gaze out my window, sugar
'Cause I'm lonesome alone

[Verse 2]
Distant lover
(Lover, lover, lover)
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 treasured it like it was precious jewels, ooh
(See me, baby, won't you see me, baby)
Hey baby
(Won't you see me, baby, won't you)
Lord have mercy, hoo-hoo
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Ooh
(Every moment)
If you come back to me, baby
(Every moment)
I can't live without your lovin'
(Every moment)
Ooh-hoo-hoo-ooh-hoo
(Every moment)

[Outro]
Hoo-ooh, something I wanna say
(Lover, lover, lover)
When you left and took all of me with you
Baby please, please, please
Won't you come on back home to me, girl
No one, no one could ever be like you
And oh, can't you come on back to me, baby
Woo-ooh-hoo-ooh-ooh
Please baby, come back to me
Make this house a home again, oh
