作曲 : Sandra Elaine Greene & Gwen Gordy Fuqua & Marvin Gaye
You know  when you're in love

And your lover leaves you

And you've got nobody

The lonely hours over here

Sittin' home and thinkin'  you say:

Distant lover  lover  ooo hoo hoo

So many miles   ooo please
Oh please  baby  think about me

Hey  in misery
Oh say  baby  as I reminisce about your life
That we shared together

The promises we made  baby

Of the day you left  child

Then all of a sudden  if it may seem to explode

Now I gaze out my window

Sugar  down a lonesome road  ooo
Distant lover  ooo  sugar

How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel

Didn't you know  sugar  that I dream

Of what I spent with you

I treasure it like it was a precious jewel  oh baby

Lord have mercy

Oh baby  don't go

Please come back  baby

Ooo  something I wanna say

When you left to go away you

No 'ther do I want

Do you wanna have me plead and scream
Please  Please  oh please baby

Come back home  girl

Oh baby  come back

Oh oh
