Distant lover, lover
Oh, so many miles away, oh 
Heaven knows that I long for you
Every night, every night and sometimes I yearn through the day

Distant lover, oh lover 
You should think about me 
Say a prayer for me
Please, please baby think about me sometimes 
Think about me, yeah
Hey, misery, misery

As I reminisce, oh baby through our joyful summer together
The promises we made of the daily letter 
Then all of a sudden everything seemed to explode 
Now I gaze out my window, sugar, down the lonesome road

Distant lover, oh sugar 
How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel? 
Don'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

Oh baby, don't go
Please, come back, baby
Something I wanna say
When you left to go away
No 'ther do I want, do you wanna have me plead and scream?
Please, please, oh, please baby
Come back home, girl
Oh baby, please
