[Verse 1]
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 sometime

[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh


[Verse 2]
Well, I`ve been haunted in my sleep
You`ve been starring in 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 goingna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls thats just dying to meet you
We`re goinna bring a case of wine
Hey, let`s go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to"

[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah

[Verse 3]
Oh, everybody waits so long
Oh, baby, why you waitin` so long?
Won`t you come on, come on?
I`ve been walkin` Central Park, singing after dark
People think I`m crazy
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


[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, I won`t miss you child

[Verse 4]
I guess I`m lying to myself
It`s just 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, yeah

[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Lord, I miss you child
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Lord, I miss you child
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Why, why, why, why
