What's Missing

(album: Alexander O'Neal - 1985)

I just don't understand
How love so good can turn so bad
We just don't walk away, girl
We've come too far, let's try to work it out

'Cause we used to have good love but now it's gone
So girl, let's try find out (What's missing)
We used to have good love but now it's gone
So girl, we gotta try find out what's missed in love

(In our love)
In our love
(In our love)

I have to ask you, girl
What would it take to make things right again?
If we both do a little soul searching
We'll get back what we once had

'Cause we used to have good love but now it's gone
So girl, let's try find out (What's missing)
We used to have good love but now it's gone
So girl, we gotta try find out what's missed in love

(In our love)
In our love
Sometimes I just don't understand

(We used to have good love)
Girl
(Looked around and now it's gone)
Now it's gone
(We used to have good love)
(Let's try to find out what's missing)
The love from you and me
Now it's gone

(We used to have good love)
Girl
(Looked around and now it's gone)
Now it's gone away
(We used to have good love)
(Let's try find out what's missing)
Love has gone
(We used to have good love)
Yeah
(Looked around and now it's gone)
Now it's gone
(We used to have good love)
(Let's try to find out what's missing)
Gone away
(We used to have good love)
(Looked around and now it's gone)
Now it's gone
(We used to have good love)
(Let's try to find out what's missing)
(We used to have good love)
Looked around and it was gone away

What's missing, girl?
What's missing with you and me?
Missing with you and me, baby yeah

It seems our love is like a maze
And the corridors change every day
I'm lost without your loving
Babe, let's find (What's missing)
And if I have to change my way
To keep the smile on your face
I'd gladly do that for you
But let's find (What's missing)
I'd walk from New York to L.A
Swim the ocean in a hurricane
And all that time I'd ask you
Can you tell me (What's missing?)
'Cause when I saw your loving, girl
Meant more to me than all the world
I'm lost without your loving
Help me find
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Good love 'cause now it's gone
So girl, we gotta try find out (What's missing)
We used to have good love but now it's gone
So girl, let's try to find out (What's missing)

We used to have good love
Looked around and now it's gone
Used to have good love
Let's try to find out what's missing

(We used to have good love)
What's missing girl ?
(Looked around and now it's gone)
Missing, baby
(We used to have good love)
(Let's try to find out what's missing)

(We used to have good love)
(Looked around and now it's gone)
It's gone away, oh
(We used to have good love)
Gone away
(Let's try to find out what's missing)

(We used to have good love)
(Looked around and now it's gone)
Gone away
(We used to have good love)
From me
(Let's try to find out what's missing)
My baby, yeah

(We used to have good love)

We used to have good love
Now it's gone away
What's missing, girl?
What's missed in our love
And for you I will...(in our love)

What's missing, love
Missing my baby
Missing my girl
Oh, my baby
Missing my love
Oh, oh, oh...
Missing you, missing you...
