Song updated, review now!
(Cheers and applause)
Thank you! Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

Oooh, oooh. Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.
We recognize his name like Trouble Man.
It's one of my favorite names, y'all.
I'm gonna have Gene Page playing here for me on his birthday.
Oooh, oooh, oooh. Oooh, oooh, oooh.
We're going to do a thing that I hope you will now enjoy.
So people told me, "You say you're in love and your lover leaves you and you've
got nobody."
The lonely hours over there sitting home and thinking and you say...

Distant lover, lover.
Lover, lover, lover, lover.
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, so many miles away.
Heaven knows that I long for you every night.
Every night, I pray
And sometimes I dance through the day.
Distant lover,
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, lover. (Lover, lover, lover, lover.)
You should think about me, baby.
Say a prayer for me.
Ple-e-e-e-e-e-e-ease, baby, think about me sometimes.
Think about me here, hey, in misery.
Oh, misery.

As I reminisce through our joyful summer together,
The promises we made, baby.
All the daily letters.
(Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.)
Then all of a sudden, everything seems to explode. (Pow!)
Now I gaze out my window, sugar, down a lonesome road. Whoo!

Distant lover.
(Lover, lover, lover, lover.) Oooh, oooh, sugar.
How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel.
Didn't you know, sugar, that every moment that I spent with you,
I treasured it like it was a precious jewel.
Oh, baby. (Say you love me, say you love me, say you love me.)
Uh, Lord have mercy.

(Saxophone solo)

I treasured it, baby, and you wanna leave. Whoo!
(Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.) Oh, baby, don't go. (Pow!)
Please come back, baby.

Oooh, oooh, oooh.
(Lover, lover, lover, lover.) Something I wanna say,
When you left you took all of me with you.
Now all I want from you, baby,
Do you wanna hear me screaming please, please, oh please, baby.
Come back home, girl.
Oh, baby. Oh. (Lover, lover.) Oh, baby.
Please go. Oh. Whoo! Come on back home.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

(Cheers and applause0
