Lyrics for Lover Man (Oh, Where Can You Be?)

I don't know why But I'm feeling so sad I long to try something I've never had Never had no kissing, oh, what we'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 ear Hugging and kissing Ooh, what we've been missing Lover man, oh, where can you be? Now, 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 Make love to me, 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 ear Hugging and kissing Ooh, what we've been missing Lover man, lover man, oh, where can you be?
