Well hello, give me missin' persons
They said, 'What is it that you need?'
I said, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh I need him so
They said, 'You've got to stop your pleading.'
Cause no matter what you do,
You can pray to heaven above
All you'll ever get from him is
Long distance love
I read the paper and I got the blues
I wa so sad to hear the news
Help wanted was not enough
You know these times are getting rough
Cause no matter what I do,
I can pray to heaven above
All you'll ever get from you is
Long distance love
(Operator give me the news...
Long distance love)
Oh, his smile, it was so pretty
And his laugh was so sweet
And I wonder does he know
Does he know he hurt me so
Cause no matter what I do,
I can pray to heaven above
All I seem to get from him is
Long distance love
