Píseň: Distant Lover

Interpret:
Marvin Gaye
Album:
Let's Get It On
Distant lover, lover
Ooh, so many miles away
Heaven knows that I long for you
Every night, every night
And sometimes I yearn through the day


Distant lover
You should think about me
Say a prayer for me
Please, please baby
Think about me sometimes
Think about me here, hey
Misery, misery


As I reminisce, ah baby
Through our joyful summer together
The promises we made
All the daily letters
The all of a sudden
Everything seemed to explode
Now I gaze out my window, sugar


Distant lover, ooh sugar
How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel
Sugar, sugar
That every moment that I spend with you I treasure
Like it was precious jewels
Lord, have mercy


Please, come back, baby
Something I want to say
When you left you took all of me with you
My lord, do you want to hear me scream?
Please, please
