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
I've been haunted in my sleep,
You've been the star in all 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 12:00 with some Puerto Rican girls that are 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!'
Ooooh, eve rybody waits so long
Ooooh, bab y why you wait so long
Won't you co me on, come home!
I've been walking Central Park, singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
Sometimes I want to say to myself, sometimes I say ....
Stumbling on my feet, shuffling through the street
Asking people,
'What's the matter with you, boy?'
Sometimes I want to say to myself, sometimes I say ....
Hooooo hooooo Hooooo hooooo
Hooooo hooooo Hooooo hooooo
I guess I'm lying to myself it's 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
Lord, I miss your child ....
