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
