Billie Holiday - Don't Explain

Lover Man

I don't know why, but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I've 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 all 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
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
Huggin' and a-kissin'
Oh, what we've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be?

I've heard it said
That the thrill of romance can be like a heavenly dream
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
A huggin' and a-kissin'
Oh, what we've been missing
Lover man, where can you be?
