Momma raised me to love one man

And that's just what I'm trying to do

But since you've been playing

In that rock and roll band

I never see enough of you



Saw your picture in a magazine

Read the letters that you sent back home

But of the night I'm alone by the t.v. screen

Listening for the telephone



[Chorus:]

Long distant love affair

We got a station to station romance

And while I'm here you're always there

This kind of love don't get no where

It's just a long distant love affair



I got a fever running through my blood

Night and day you know it never fails

And there's only one thing

That's gonna satsify me

And you can't send it through the mail



[Chorus x3]
