I’ve been holding out so long
I’ve been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
I’ve been hannging on the phone
I’ve been sleeping all alone

I want to kiss you

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh X2


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 phone rings
It’s just some friends of mine that they say,

« Hey, what’s the matter maaa  an? We’re gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls that just dyiyyyn’ 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 X2

Ooooouuuh everybody waits so long
Oooooooh baby why you wait so long
(Won’t you) Come on! Come on!

Break

I’ve been walking in Central Park / Singing after dark
People think I’m craaaaaazy
 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

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
I won’t miss you child

Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Lord, I miss you child
