Miss You

Lyrics

I've been holding out so long
 I've been sleeping all alone
 'Cause I miss you
 ♪
 I've been hanging on the phone
 I've been sleeping all alone
 I want to kiss you
 ♪
 I've been moanin' in my sleep
 You've been starring in my dreams
 'Cause I miss you, child
 
 I've been waiting in the hall
 I've been waiting for your call
 When the phone rings
 It's just a friends of mine sayin'
 "Hey, hey, what's the matter with you, girl?
 We're gonna come around by twelve
 With some bad Puerto Rican dudes
 Oh, they're gonna be just dyin' to meet you
 We're gonna bring a case of wine
 And we're gonna mess around like we used to"
 I miss you, baby
 ♪
 Baby, why did you wait so long?
 I wanna know, yeah-yeah
 Baby, why did you wait so long?
 Yeah, come on, come on
 I've been walking in Central Park
 Singing after dark
 People think I'm crazy
 
 Stumbling on my feet
 Shuffling through the street
 Asking people, "Hey, what's the matter with you, boy?"
 Sometimes I wanna say to myself
 Oh-oh-oh-oh
 I won't miss you, child
 ♪
 Guess I'm lying to myself
 There's just you and nobody, nobody else
 'Cause I miss you, baby
 I've been waiting in the hall
 Waiting on your call
 And the phone rings
 Ah, it's just a friend of mine saying
 "Hey, hey girl, what's the matter with you?
 We're gonna come around by 12
 With some Puerto Rican dudes, oh, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
 They're just dying to meet ya
 We're gonna bring a case of wine
 And we're gonna mess around, you know what I mean, like we used to, ha?"
 La-la-la-la-la
 ♪
 I've been waiting in the hall
 Waiting on your call
 Oh-oh, 'cause I miss you, baby
 I guess I'm lying to myself
 There's just you and no one else, believe me baby
 And I miss you, baby
 I miss you, baby
 
 I've been holding out so long
 I've been sleeping all alone
 'Cause I miss you
 ♪
 I've been hanging on the phone
 I've been sleeping all alone
 I want to kiss you
