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
Sometimes
Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been staring 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 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
Oh, baby, why you wait so long
Oh, baby, why you wait 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: 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 just been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time, no, I won't miss you, baby, yeah
Lord, I miss you child, Lord, I miss you child, Lord, I miss you child
