[Spoken:]
Wait a minute, baby
You packin' your bags

How soon
Naw, don't do that
Wait a minute

Why don't you stay a while
How soon
We can work this out

Sit down
Let's talk about it


[Chorus:]
I miss your smiling face
The smell of your perfume

Girl, this damn bed is cold
Nothing to hold on to
Oh yeah, the phone is cool

But girl, I need you here
Be it plane, train, or automobile
How soon can you get here


I'm gonna miss you
More than you know

Every time you leave
I wanna beg you not to go
We have so much fun, girl

Don't we though
When you pack your
Bags to leave

I try not to let
My feelings show


It's so hard for me
Especially when
You been around

Distant lovers
Is what we are
And girl

It's breakin' me down

[Repeat chorus]


When will I see you?
It's never too soon

Can you come
In the morning
And leave later

On that afternoon?
See, I'm just as scared
Whenever you're away

Girl, I'd give anything
Just to see you everyday


It's so hard for me
Especially after
You've been around

Distant lovers
Are what we are
And girl

It's breakin' me down

You're a career girl

You gotta do
What you gotta do
As much as I want

You here with me
Girl, I'm so damn
Proud of you


[Repeat chorus twice]


Get here, get here
Yeah, yeah
How soon

Ooh, baby
Girl, I hate to see you leave
Can't you see it's killing me
Be it plane
Train or automobile

Get here

[Repeat chorus twice]
