lover man (oh, where can he be?)

Singer:etta james

i don't know why but i'm feeling so sad

i'd long to try something i'd never had

never had no kissing

ooh

what i'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's here 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

and i'll go to bed with a prayer

that you'll make love

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 ear

hugging and a-kissing

oh

what i've been missing baby

lover man

oh

where can you be?

i've heard it said that the thrill of romance

could be like a heavenly dream

and i'll go to bed with the prayer

that you'll make love

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 a-kissing

oh

what i've been missing

lover man

oh

where can you be?

lover man

oh

where can you be?
