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 there do I want, do you wanna have me plead and scream   Please! Please, oh please baby   Come back home, girl   Oh baby, come back   Oh oh
