Lover Man
Patty Pravo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm feeling so sad
I long to try
Something I've never had
Never had no kissing
Oh what I've been missing
Lover man oh where can you be
The night is cold
I'd give my soul
Just to call you my own
Got the 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 the prayer that you'll make love to me
Sad as it seems
One day we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
And whisper sweet
Little things in my ears
A huggin' and a kissin'
Lord what I've been missin'
Lover man oh where can you be
The song "Lover Man" by Patty Pravo is a melancholic ballad that speaks of the longing of a woman for her lover. The opening lines "I don't know why, but I'm feeling so sad. I long to try something I've never had" establish the mood of the song, which is one of deep yearning and sadness for a love that seems elusive. The singer expresses her regret for never having experienced the thrill of kissing and the joy of loving someone, and she wonders where her lover is. The night is cold, and she is alone, with only the moon above her as a witness to her heartaches.
The second verse of the song continues the refrain of longing for an intimate relationship with a man who would make her feel loved and cherished. She speaks of the heavenly dream of romance, which can be like a balm to heal the wounds of past disappointments. The third verse is more hopeful as the singer believes that one day she will meet her lover and he will dry all of her tears. He will whisper sweet nothings into her ear, and she will experience the joy of hugging and kissing for the first time. The song ends on a plaintive note as the singer repeats the refrain of "Lover man, oh where can you be."

I don't know why
I am uncertain about the reason
But I'm feeling so sad
However, I am feeling sorrowful
I long to try
I have the desire to attempt
Something I've never had
Something that I have not experienced before
Never had no kissing
I have never been kissed
Oh what I've been missing
I have been deprived of something wonderful
Lover man oh where can you be
My lover, where are you?
The night is cold
The evening is chilly
And I'm so all alone
And I am solitary
I'd give my soul
I would sacrifice everything
Just to call you my own
Merely to claim you as mine
Got the moon above me
The moon is in the sky above me
But no one to love me
But no one to love or care for me
Lover man oh where can you be
My lover, where are you?
I've heard it said
It has been expressed
That the thrill of romance
That the excitement of love
Can be like a heavenly dream
Can feel like a beautiful dream
I go to bed
At night I lay down
With the prayer that you'll make love to me
Praying that you will make love to me
Sad as it seems
Even though it is unfortunate
One day we'll meet
At some point in the future we will encounter each other
And you'll dry all my tears
And you will console me
And whisper sweet
And speak tenderly
Little things in my ears
To tell me small, loving words
A huggin' and a kissin'
To embrace and kiss each other
Lord what I've been missin'
Oh, what I have been deprived of
Lover man oh where can you be
My lover, where are you?

Brano complesso - seppur un po' asettico per le corde di Patty - cantato in modo impeccabile. . C'è anche lo stacchetto stile Frank Zappa delle Mother of Inventions!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Cazzo GORBI601...ovunque vada per le mie ricerche pravesche trovo Te! Evidentemente devi essere, come me, proprio ossessionato da miss Strambelli, anche se non proprio di segno positivo. Amante deluso? Il 601 suppongo sia il tuo numero nella lista della virago della canzone italiana. Un po' tardi ma comunque ti faccio i miei complimenti.
