marvin gaye - distant lover (live at the london palladium, 1977) lyrics

[spoken intro]
well, it appears — yes, go ahead, leslie, it’s alright, i’m sure it is
to sing for you now a little bit of “distant lover”
i’m gonna sing a little bit of “distant lover” for you tonight
baby, oh baby baby
lord, when you lose the one you love, it’s a cold, cold hard feeling
whenever it come over a man
you see, a man ain’t supposed to cry
when i lost my baby, hey, and i tried to be strong
come home from work, baby, i had to face a lonely room
and the four walls began to close on me, all around me
and i began to think my baby, said, “baby, why’d you leave me, baby?”
well, and then, i didn’t wanna cry, baby
i broke down on my knees and screamed “oh baby, ahh”

[verse 1]
distant lover, lover (lover, lover, lover)
ooh, so many miles away
please, heaven knows that i long for you
every night, every night, every night
and sometimes i yearn through the day
distant lover, ooh, lover (lover, lover, lover)
you should think about me
say a prayer for me
please, please, ah please
think about me sometimes
think about me here
here in misery
save me, baby, save me

[bridge]
as i reminisce through our joyful summer together
the promises we made, all the daily letters
then, all of a sudden, everything seemed to explode
now, i gaze out my window down a lonesome road, ooh

[verse 2]
distant lover, oh baby (lover, lover, lover)
oh, oh, how can you treat my heart so mean and cruel?
didn’t you know every moment that i spent with you
i treasure it like it was a precious jewel
ooh, save me, baby, lord have mercy

[outro]
you see, you know, i said
oh, i beg you, baby, baby, baby, please, don’t leave me, don’t go
i said, baby, come back, baby
somethin’ i wanna say
when you left you took all of me with you
now baby, i wonder
would it help if i pleaded and screamed, plead?
well, please, oh please, come back home, girl
ah baby, oh, oh baby, please, darlin’, oh girl, woo
come back home, home, home
yeah
