Marvin Gaye - "Distant Lover"


Laying in my bed - vibing. Just realized this was the sample in one of Kanye's older songs 
("Spaceship"). 


The old soul in me has returned...

Anyway - this is how I feel right now. Unsure of what's going on in my love life - once again.
Still not sure why this has to be so difficult. Nonetheless, the hopeless romantic trudges on. I just don't give up on love that easy. Especially when it's worth it... Tell 'em, Marvin.
((Marvin Gaye enters. Sits on barstool, grabs microphone))
Distant lover, lover (lover, lover, lover)
So many miles away
How long, how i long for you
Every night, every night
And sometimes I yearn
Through the day
Distant lover (lover, lover, lover)
You should think about me
And say a prayer for me
Please, please baby
Think about me sometimes
Think about me here
Here in misery
Oh say it baby
As I reminisce, through our joyful summer together
The promises we made baby
All the daily letters
Then, all of the sudden
Everything seemed to explode
WOW! 
Now I gaze out my window
Sugar, down that lonesome road

Distant lover (lover, lover, lover)
Sugar, how can you treat my heart
So mean and cruel
Didnt you know sugar that every moment
That I spent with you
I treasure it like it was a precious jewel
Please, Lord have mercy
Please, come back, baby
I treasured it baby
And You wanna leave
Oh baby dont go
Please, come back baby
Somethin' I wanna say
When you left
You took all of me with you
Now Lord, Do you wanna hear me scream
Please please oh please baby
Come back and home, girl
Oh baby
Please Darlin
Come back HOME!
