Lover Man
Duke Ellington & Ella Fitzgerald Lyrics

I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad
I'm not sure why, but I'm experiencing a strong feeling of sadness.

I long to try something I never had
I have a strong desire to experience something new that I've never felt before.

Never had no kissing
I have never experienced a deep, romantic kiss.

Oh, what I've been missing
I am starting to realize how much of a void my lack of romantic experiences has left in my life.

Lover man, oh, where can you be
I am searching for a special man who can fulfill my romantic desires and bring love into my life.

The night is cold and I'm so alone
I am feeling cold and lonely in this dark night without a lover by my side.

I'd give my soul just to call you my own
I would be willing to make great sacrifices if only I could find that special man who could become my partner in life.

Got a moon above me
Despite my feelings of loneliness, I am still able to look up and see the beauty of the nighttime sky.

But no one to love me
Despite the beauty of the night, the absence of love in my life makes everything feel empty.

Lover man, oh, where can you be
I am calling out to the universe in search of my true love, hoping that one day he will come to me.

I've heard it said
I have been told that

That the thrill of romance
Experiencing the intense emotions of being in love

Can be like a heavenly dream
Feels so wonderful and magical that it is like a dream from heaven.

I go to bed with a prayer
Every night before going to sleep, I ask God to bring me my true love.

That you'll make love to me
That my one true love will finally find me and offer me the love and intimacy I long for.

Strange as it seems
Although it may seem unlikely or even impossible,

Someday we'll meet
One day, my true love and I will finally cross paths.

And you'll dry all my tears
He will comfort me and wipe away my sadness and tears.

Then whisper sweet
In those special moments, he will say kind and loving words to me.

Little things in my ear
He will share his affection for me in gentle and intimate ways, speaking softly into my ear.

Hugging and a kissing
We will embrace each other and share loving kisses.

Oh, what we've been missing
After all of my years of searching and waiting, we will finally have found each other and be able to experience the love we both have been missing.

Lover man, oh, where can you be
I continue to search for my true love and remain hopeful that we will one day find each other.
