I've been holding out so long,
I've been sleeping all alone, Lord, I mis s you
I've been hanging on the phone,
I've been sleeping all alone, I want to kis s you
I've been haunted in my sleep,
You've been the star in all my dreams,
Lord, I mis s you, child
I've been waiting in the hall,
Been waiting on your call when the phone rin gs,
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 gir ls 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 lik e we used to!'
Oo ooh, everybody waits so lon g
Oo ooh, baby why you wait so lon g
Won't you come on, come home!
I've been walking Central Park, singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
Sometimes I want to say to mys elf, sometimes I say ....
Stumbling on my feet, shuffling through the street
Ask ing people,
'Wh at's the matter with you, boy?'
Sometimes I want to say to mys elf, sometimes I say ....
Hooooo hooooo Hoo ooo hooooo
Hooooo hooooo Hoo ooo 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 ....
