1st Verse:
I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I never had
Never had no kissin'
Oh, what you've been missin'
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
2nd Verse:
The night is cold and I'm so alone
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me
But no one to love me
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
Bridge:
I've heard it said
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer
That you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems
3rd Verse:
Someday we'll meet and you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ear
Hugging and a-kissing
Oh, what I've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
