Fun may be fun,
But it's not when the one
That you love has gone!
I try to sleep,
But the counting of sheep
Goes on and on!
Without your kiss,
I just cannot exist
From the night till dawn!
Lover, lover, lover, come back!

You had me where
I was walkin' on air,
Never touched the ground!
Now I have learned
There's a torch to be burned
Since you're not around!
I'm gonna place
An ad in the place
Under "lost and found"!
Lover, lover, lover, come back!

I'm like a birdie without its wing,
Like a puppet without its string,
I'm not anything
Without you, my love!

Thinkin' about you
And bein' without you
Is what it took!
Now I'm all set,
gonna go out and get
Ya by hook or crook!
Whoever said
They liked crawling in bed
With a real good book?

I've made my conclusion,
I know what I lack!
There's no substitution,
So please hurry back!
Lover, lover, lover, lover, come on back!
Come on back!
Lover, come back!
