Lyrics

[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, ah
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 a friend of mine that say
[Verse 3]
"Hey, what's the matter, man?
We're gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls that's 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"
[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah (Say)
[Bridge]
Oh, everybody waits so long
Oh, baby, why you waiting so long?
Won't you come on, come on?
[Verse 4]
I've been walking 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?"
Sometime I want to say to, to myself
Sometimes I say
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Yeah)
Ooh, ooh, I won't miss you, child
Woo
[Verse 5]
I guess I'm lying to myself
It's just you and no one else
Lord, I want to kiss you, child
You've just been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time
No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah
Lord, I miss you child
[Chorus]
Ooh
Ah, ah, ah
Lord, I miss you child
Ah, ah, ah
Lord, I miss you child
Ah, ah, ah (Ooh, ooh)
Why, why, why, why
