I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I've never had
Never had no kissin'
Ooh what I've been missin'
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 there's 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
And whisper sweet little things in my ears
Huggin' and a-kissin'
Ooh what I've been missin'
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
And whisper sweet little things in my ears
Huggin' and a-kissin'
Ooh what I've been missin'
Lover man oh where can you be
