Long Distance Love Lyrics by Oleta Adams

Moving On

1995

Well hello, give me missing persons
They said, "What is it that you need?"
I said, oh, oh, oh, oh I need him so
They said, "You've got to stop your pleading"
'Cause no matter what you do
You can pray to heaven above
All you'll ever get from him is
Long distance love
I read the paper and I got the blues
I was so sad to hear the news
Help wanted was not enough
You know these times are getting rough
'Cause no matter what I do
I can pray to heaven above
All you'll ever get from you is
Long distance love
Give me the news...
Oh, his smile, it was so pretty
And his laugh was so sweet
And I wonder does he know
Does he know he hurt me so
'Cause no matter what I do
I can pray to heaven above
All I seem to get from him is
Long distance love
Give me the news...
Operator give me the news...
