Lyrics Distant Lover - Alternate Mix - Marvin Gaye

Distant lover, lover (lover, lover, lover)
So many miles away
Heaven knows that I long for you
Every night, every night and sometimes I yearn through the day

Distant lover, oh lover (lover, lover, lover)
You should think about me, say a prayer for me
Please, please, baby
Think about me some time, think about me yeah
Here in 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 (lover, lover, 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

Please come back, baby
Something I wanna say
When you left you took all of me with you
Now,now, now Lord
Do you wanna hear me plead, baby?
Please, help me seem normal
I'm away from you
Something of a misery
Oh, oh
