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
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'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, everybody waits so long Oh baby, why you wait so long? Won't you come home, come home?
I've been walking Central Park Singing after dark People think I'm crazy
Stumbling on my feet Shuffling through the street Ask me people, "What's the matter with you boy?"
Sometimes I want to say 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 keep 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 Lord, I miss you child Lord, I miss you child
