Dee Dee Bridgewater Lover Man lyrics

I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I never had
Never had no kissin'
Oh, what I've been missin'
Lover man, oh, where can you be?

The night is cold and I'm so alone
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me
But 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

and then 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
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?

you know that
I've heard it said
That the thrill of romance
that it really Can be like a heavenly dream

I go to bed with a prayer
just a little wait
That you'll make 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
baby, what I've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can
Lover man, oh, where can
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
