I've been holding out so long
I've been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you you you you
I've been waiting in the hall
I've been waiting on your call
I want to kiss

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been staring in my dreams
Lord I miss you
I've been waiting in the hall
I've 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 are 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.”

Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

Ooh everybody waits so long
Ooh baby why you wait so so so so long

I've been walking Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy

Oooh oooh oooh why why why

I guess I'm lying to myself
It's just you and no one else
Lord I won't miss you child
You've been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time

Lord, I miss you child
I want you
Lord, I miss you
Lord, I miss you child
Lord, Lord I miss you child
Lord, I miss you child
Lord, I miss you child
