Michael McDonald - Distant Lover lyrics

rate me

You know, when you're in love and your lover leaves you

And you've got nobody, the lonely hours over here

Sittin' home and thinkin', you say:

Distant lover, darlin', ooo hoo hoo

So many miles away, ooo please

Oh please, baby, think about me

Hey, in misery

Oh say, baby, as I reminisce about your life

That we shared together

The promises we made, baby

Of the day you left, child

Then all of a sudden, if it may seem to explode

Now I gaze out my window, sugar, down a lonesome road, ooo

Distant lover, ooo, sugar

How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel

Didn't you know, sugar, that I dream

Of what I spent with you

I treasure it like it was a precious jewel, oh baby

Lord have mercy!

Oh baby, don't go

Please come back, baby

Ooo, 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, come back
