Píseň: Lover Girl

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
Tribute To The Lady
I don't know why
 but I'm feeling so sad
 I long to try something
 I've never had
 Never had no kissin', o
 what I've been missing
 Lover girl, o where can you be


 The night is cold
 and I'm so all alone
 I'd give my soul
 just to call my own
 got a moon above me
 but no one to love
 Lover girl, o where can you be


 I've heard it said
 that the thrill of romance
 Can be like a heavenly dream
 I go to bed with a pruger?
 that you make love to me
 Strange as it seems
 someday we'll meet
 and you dry all my tears
 then whisper sweet little things in my ear
 Hugging and kissing
 oh what we've been missing
 Lover girl, o where can you be
 Lover girl, o where can you be
