Momma raised me to love one man
And that's just what I'm trying to do
But since you've been playing
In that rock and roll band
I never see enough of you

Saw your picture in a magazine
Read the letters that you sent back home
But of the night I'm alone by the tv screen
Listening for the telephone

[Chorus:]

Long distant love affair
We got a station to station romance
And while I'm here you're always there
This kind of love don't get no where
It's just a long distant love affair

I got a fever running through my blood
Night and day you know it never fails
And there's only one thing
That's gonna satsify me
And you can't send it through the mail

[Chorus x3]
