Lover Man (Oh Where Can You Be)

(album: Drinking Again - 1962)

I don't know why, but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I never had
Never had no kissing
Oh, what I've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be?

The night is cold and I'm so all 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?

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
Someday we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet
Little things in my ears

Hugging and kissing
Oh, what we've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be?

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
Someday we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet
Little things in my ears

Hugging and kissing
Oh, what we've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
