Lover Man (Oh, Where Canyou Be?)

Diana Ross · Other Songs - Diana Ross

I don't know why

But I'm feeling so sad

I long to try

Something I 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'll give my soul

Just to call you my own



Hugging and kissing

Ooh, what we've been missing

Lover man oh, where can you be



I've heard it say

That the thrill of romance

Can be like a heavenly dream



I go to bed

With the 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 ears



Hugging and kissing

Ooh, what we've been missing

Lover man oh, where can you be



I've heard it say

That the thrill of romance

Can be like a heavenly dream



I go to bed

With the 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 ears



Hugging and kissing

Ooh, what we've been missing

Lover man oh, where can you be
