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?
