Lover Man

I dont know why but Im feeling so sad
I long to try something I never had
Never had no kissin
Oh, what Ive been missin
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
The night is cold and Im so alone
Id 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?
Ive heard it said
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer
That youll make love to me
Strange as it seems
Someday well meet
And youll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet
Little things in my ear
Hugging and a-kissing
Oh, what Ive been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
