Miss You

(album: Rarities 1971-2003 - 2005)

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 sometime

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
Lord I miss you, child
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's just dying 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"

Yeah, we gon' do come midtown
You know go mess and fool around
Eh, man, what's with you?

Yeah, you've been, you've been strung up for her too long
You know girls will come and go
They're just like street cars."

I said
"I've been staying here too long
Sometimes I feel so abandoned."

Aah aah aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah

Oh everybody waits so long
Oh baby why you waiting so long
Won't you come on! Come on!

I've been walking Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
Stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people, "What's the matter with you boy?"

Sometimes I want to say to to myself
Sometimes I say

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I won't miss you child

I've been holding out so long
Waiting on the phone
Lord I miss you
I've been sleeping all alone
Hanging out too long
I won't miss you child
Should know what I'm saying

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Lord, I miss you, child

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

My my my well well well

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

Lord, I miss you, child

Aah aah aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah

Lord, I miss you child

Aah aah aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah

Yes, yes
