Lyrics
[Intro]
Aw, girl, what's up? Aw, not again
So you're packin' your bags and you're leaving?
But that ain't right
You need to stay a while, think about it
But wait a minute, before you go
There's just one thing I want you to know
[Verse 1]
We both agree that this love ain't what it used to be
We just grew apart
I got nothin' but love for you, baby
Girl, you'll always be my heart
It's gonna to be strange living without you
Ain't felt so empty before, no
See, I miss your smile and even your fussin'
When I left my clothes on the floor, oh, baby, say now
[Chorus]
I'm gonna miss your face (Yes, I am, baby)
I'm gonna miss your moods (The little things you do when you're sad and blue, baby)
I'm gonna miss makin' love to you
And even though you haven't gone yet, I'm already missing you (Yeah, yeah, I'm already missing you)
[Verse 2]
It's hard to say goodbye (Goodbye), but things will be better
You go your way and I will go mine
Let's keep in touch, let me know how you're doing
Girl, things will change in time, said
Don't want you to leave, keep sayin' I'm sorry
But I guess I'm repeating myself
Girl, you know I'm here when you need a shoulder
I can't see you in the arms of someone else, oh, baby
[Chorus]
I'm gonna miss your face (Such a pretty face, such a pretty face)
I'm gonna miss your moods (How you do what you do when you do it)
I'm gonna miss makin' love to you
And even though you haven't gone yet, I'm already missing you (Missin' you)
I'm gonna miss your face (Oh, yes I am, yes I am, baby)
I'm gonna miss your moods (I'm gonna miss your love, miss your love)
I'm gonna miss makin' love to you (I'll miss makin' love to you)
And even though you haven't gone yet, I'm already missing you (I'm missin' you)
[Outro]
Already missin' you (Right now)
See, I know you're leavin' soon, baby
Already missin' you (Right now)
And I don't think I can live without you, baby, yeah, sun set (Oh, baby)
Even though you haven't gone (Even though you haven't gone yet)
I'm missin' you (Uh-huh)
Gonna cry, I'm gonna be lonely
Missin' you, baby (Goodbye, baby)
Funny face, funny face (Baby, baby)
I know 'cause it's your style (I'll miss your touch)
You know I see your face (I miss your lovin')
I know you're gettin' ready to leave
Not a thing gonna make me happy
The way I miss your style, baby (I miss you, babe)
I never thought you'd leave me, baby
I never thought you'd go
It's gonna be strange livin' without you, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
You know my name when you need a shoulder
I'll miss you, baby (To cry on)
I'll miss you, girl
I'll miss you, sugar
I'll miss you, girl
I'll miss your smilin', baby
Smile for me, baby
Before you leave, before you leave
Smile, girl
Smile, baby
Smile, girl
