LDR Song Hits: Long Distance Love by Little Feat

I've been on a roll with long distance songs this week. I stumbled upon this song (which is from a bygone era. Hehe!) while I was posting Gossip's Love Long Distance the other day. I, of course, ended up Googling the lyrics of the song.

It was sad. But I won't deny that once in a while, people in LDRs (like myself) do get to feel the emotional distance as Little Feat belts it out. Emote with the lyrics here…

Oh, Hello…give Me Missing Persons, They Say
What Is It That You Need?
I Said Oh, I Need Him So…she Said You've
Got to Stop Your Pleading

And no Matter What I Do,
Even Pray to Heaven Above,
All I Ever Get From You Is
Long Distance Love

I Read the Papers
And I Got the Blues
I Was So Sad to Hear the News
Help Wanted, But Not Enough
You Know These Times Are Gettin' Rough

And no Matter What I Do
Even Pray to Heaven Above
All I Seem to Get From You Is Long Distance Love
(Whoo-oo-oo)

Oh Your Toes Were So Pretty
And Your Life So Sweet
I Wonder Do You Know
Do You Know You Hurt Me So

And no Matter What I Do
Even Pray to Heaven Above
All I Ever From You Is
Long Distance Love
Long Distance Love
(Oo-oo-oo)

When the LDR going gets tough, better just sing it out?

Love the distance,

Inday I. Nagintay
