Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why are you so far from me?
In my arms is where you ought to be
[Verse 2]
How long will you make me wait?
I don't know how much more I can take
[Verse 3]
I missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh, but I want to
How I do
[Verse 4]
Slowly counting down the days
Till I finally know your name
[Verse 5]
Oh, the way your hands feels round my waist
The way you laugh, the way your kisses taste
[Verse 6]
I missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh, but I want to
How I do
How I do
[Verse 7]
I've missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh, I missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh, but I want to
Oh, how I want to
[Verse 8]
Dear, whoever you might be
I'm still waiting patiently
