You know, when you're in love and your lover leaves you

Every night, and sometimes I yearn through the day

F#m
Please, oh please baby, think about me sometime
B
Think about me, yeah, in misery
E
Oh, save me baby

[Bridge]

As I reminisce through our joyful summer together

The promises we made of a daily letter

Then all of a sudden everything seemed to explode

Now I gaze out my window down that lonesome road

Distant lover (lover, lover, lover)

How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel?

Didn't you know, that every moment

That I spend with you I treasure it like it was (a) precious jewel

Oh baby (Lord, have mercy)

[Solo]
Am Am B B E

[Verse]

Something I wanna say: When you left, you took all of me with you
