Distant Lover Lyrics
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
Oh oh
And you've got nobody, the lonely hours over here
Sittin' home and thinkin', you say:
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
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!
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
Oh oh

These cant be the lyrics to distant lover
the version ive always heard starts like Distant Lover... Lover... Loverrr loverr lovverrr so many miles away. ooooh oohh. Heaven knows. that i long for you, every night, every niiiiight. Thats the only version Ive heard, Ive heard it on the Lets get it on album, greatest hits and a live recording all exactly the same.
I agree with soulfool88_1. this ain't it.
For the record, Kanye sampled this for one of the songs off of "college dropout" -i'm sure he'd agree too:)
btw: here are the real lyrics to the song: Distant lover, lover (lover, lover, lover) So many miles away Heaven knows that I long for you Every night, every night I plan, sometimes I dance Through the day Distant lover (lover, lover, lover) You should think about me And say a prayer for me Please, please baby Think about me sometimes Think about me here Here in misery Misery As I reminisce, oh baby, through our joyful summer together The promises we made All the daily letters Then, all of the sudden Everything seemed to explode Now, I gaze out my window SDugar, down a lonesome road Distant lover (lover, lover, lover) Sugar, how can you treat my heart So mean and cruel Sugar, sugar Treat every moment that I spent with you I treasure every like it was a precious jewel Please, Lord have mercy Please, come back, baby Somethin' I wanna say When you left You took all of me with you Do you wanna hear me scream Come back and hold me, girl
