Distant Lover Lyrics by The Controllers (R&B)

Stay

1986

Whoo!
Distant lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover
Oooh, oooh, oooh. So many miles away
Miles away. (Oooh, oooh)
Heaven knows (Heaven knows) that I long for you
Oooh, oooh, oooh, baby
(La, la, la, la.) Every night, every night
And sometimes I can make it through my days
(Oooh, oooh, oooh) Distant lover
(Lover, lover, lover) Ah, ah, lover
(Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh)
You should think about me, baby
Say a prayer for me
And every moment, every, (Every moment) that I spent with you
(Treasured them all) I treasured them all as they were precious jewels
Ah, won't you save me, baby
As I-I-I reminisce through our joyful summer together
(The promises we made) The promises we made, we made through our daily letters
(Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh,) Then all of a sudden
(Oooh, oooh, oooh) Everything seems to explode. (Pow!)
Now I gaze out my window looking down the lonesome road
(Oooh, oooh, oooh) Distant lover
(Lover, lover, lover) When you left, you took all of me with you
Now all I...Now all I...If you wanna hear me beg and plead, beg and plead
Oh, oh, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
(And every moment,) Oh, baby
Woman, I beg you please, (Every moment)
Oh, why don't come on back home
Distant lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-over
Had love...Had love stood like here like a fool and I lost it
Now I'm suffering, suffering the pain this sweet love has caused me
You will never, never get another chance to let you know how I feel, baby
You can be in a plane. You can be in a damn train
You can be walking. You can be talk-talk-talking
You can be doing anything you oughta be do-o-o-o-o-oing
Come on. Come on, back
Come on back, ho-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ome
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh
(Oooh, oooh, oooh) Yeah. Whoa
Love you, need you
(Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh) Oh, oh, oh, my love, my love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, my distant lover
Can't you see I need you, baby
(And every moment) Want you, baby. Got to love you, baby
(Every moment) Oh, my, my, oh, my, my, oh, my, my, baby
Whoa, ohhhhhhhhhhhh. Oh, oh
