Rolling Stones: Miss You

De Rolling Stones brachten de hit Miss You uit in 1978, voor hun album Some Girls. Het nummer kwam vrij spontaan tot stand tijdens een jam sessies van Mick Jagger met toetsenist Billy Preston.

Waarom dit nummer? De liedjestekst spreekt voor zich.

Video: live concert

Songtekst

I’ve been holding out so long
I’ve been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
I’ve been hanging on the phone
I’ve been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you

Oooh oooh oooh-oooh oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh oooh oooh-oooh oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
(x 2)

Well, I’ve been haunted in my sleep
You’ve been starring in my dreams
Lord I miss you
I’ve been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
It’s just some friends of mine that say,
“Hey, what’s the matter man?
We’re gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin’ to meet you.
We’re gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, let’s go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to”

Aaah aaah aaah-aaah aaah-aaah-aaah (x 2)
Aaah aaah aaah aaah

Oh everybody waits so long
Oh baby why you wait so long
Won’t you come on! Come on!

I’ve been walking in Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I’m crazy
I’ve been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people, “What’s the matter with you boy?”

Sometimes I want to say to myself
Sometimes I say

Oooh oooh oooh-oooh oooh-oooh-oooh (x 2)
Oooh oooh oooh

Oooh oooh oooh-oooh oooh-oooh-oooh (x 2)
I won’t miss you child

I guess I’m lying to myself
It’s just you and no one else
Lord I won’t miss you child
You’ve been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time
No, I won’t miss you, baby, yeah

Lord, I miss you child
Aaah aaah aaah-aaah aaah-aaah-aaah
Aaah aaah aaah-aaah aaah-aaah-aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah
