Lover Man
Linda Ronstadt & The Nelson Riddle Orchestra Lyrics

I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad
For some reason I am experiencing intense sadness right now, even though I do not understand the cause.

I long to try something I've never had
I am plagued with a yearning to experience something that I have never before encountered.

Never had no kissin'
As hard as it may be to believe, I have never experienced a romantic kiss in my life.

Ooh what I've been missin'
The absence of this particular type of sensual experience has left me feeling incomplete and unsatisfied.

Lover man oh where can you be
I am searching for a special someone, a lover who can fulfill my desires and help me feel complete.

The night is cold and I'm so all alone
As I sit here, the chilly and empty night weighs heavily upon me.

I'd give my soul just to call you my own
Given the opportunity, I would willingly sacrifice all that I am just to be with you and call you mine.

Got a moon above me
Although the night sky is barren and cold, the moon hangs above me as a solitary comfort.

But there's no one to love me
Even with the moon's guidance, I am still lacking the love and companionship that I need.

I've heard it said that the thrill of romance can be
I've heard people say that experiencing the excitement and passion of a romantic relationship can be a truly exhilarating sensation.

Like a heavenly dream
Some have likened the feeling of being in love to the sensation of dreaming with the divine in your grasp.

I go to bed with a prayer that you'll make love to me
Each night I fall asleep with the hope and prayer that the one I seek will find me and quench my desires with physical intimacy.

Strange as it seems
As odd as it may sound or look, this is the way that I feel and the way that I am.

Someday we'll meet and you'll dry all my tears
In the future, I imagine that we will encounter one another, and with your comforting presence, you will be able to soothe me and alleviate my sorrows.

And whisper sweet little things in my ears
With your embrace, I anticipate that you will whisper tender and affectionate words into my ear, expressing your love and adoration for me.

Huggin' and a-kissin'
I anticipate experiencing the physical pleasures of romantic love, including the embrace of a hug and the sensuality of passionate kissing.

Ooh what I've been missin'
Without these sensations in my life, I feel incomplete, as if I am lacking a vital facet of my being.

Lover man oh where can you be
Thus, I seek the one who can complete me, the lover man who can quench my thirst for passionate romance and tenderness.
