Lyrics: Distant Lover
Album: N/A
Artist: Marvin Gaye
 
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
