I Miss You (album version) Lyrics
Ooh...ooh.
Oh, I.
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, ooh.) Oh, I.
I miss you, baby.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I.
(Oh, I) Oh, I
(Oh, I miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you.) I miss you, baby.
I swear I do.
Mmmm, hmmm.
Ever since you went away,
I ain't been doing nothing but thinking
(Thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking) With my head in my hands.
You've been away from me so long.
And I just don't think I could carry on, so I started drinking
(Drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking) Each and every night
(Ahhh, ah, ahhh) Trying to drown all my loneliness away
And I don't forget a day.
Fall down on my hands and knees wishing for your return.
And oh, how I hurt, (Oh, how I hurt.)
'Cause I, (Oh, I)
Oh, I, (Oh, I)
I miss you, baby. (miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you.)
Oh Lord.
You can look at my eyes and see
That a great big man like me has been
(Crying, crying, crying, crying, crying) Crying my soul and heart out to you, baby.
Sitting in my lonely room filled with nothing but gloom
And I feel like dying.
(Dying, dying, dying, dying) Hey, y'all, I'm down.
'Cause ever since the day you left,
I don't know what to do with myself.
Oh, how I wish for your return.
And oh, how I hurt, (Oh, how I hurt.)
'Cause I, (Oh, I)
Oh, I, (Oh, I)
I miss you, baby. (miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you.)
I miss you, baby.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I.
(Oh, I)
Oh, I, (Oh, I)
I miss you, baby. (miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you.)
I swear I do.
Oh, I.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I.
(Oh, I) Oh, I
(Oh, I) Oh, I-I,
(miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you) I miss you, baby.
Without you, baby, it ain't no future.
Yeah. (baby.)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, no.
(Oh, I) Oh, I,
(Oh, I) I miss you, baby.
(miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you) I miss you, baby.
I miss you, baby.
Without you, I don't know what to do with myself (baby.), what to do with my time.
Hmmm. Hello? (Ha, oh Lord.)
Did I disturb you? (What am I gonna do without you, baby?)
I didn't mean to take up too much of your time, but just thought I'd give you a ring and see how you was doing.
How's, how's everything? (Oh, I)
(I miss you, baby.) A friend of mine told me he saw you the other day.
(You don't know what I'm talking about.) Said you were still looking good.
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.)
Heh, made me feel kinda good, you know. (Nobody but me.)
(I'm all alone and I miss you, baby.)
Told me he...Told me that you did ask about me. (Yeah, baby. Yeah, baby.)
Hmmm. (Hey, baby. Oh baby.)
I've been really meaning to try to get to talk to you for now, but...
(Why don't you come back to me, baby.) Heh, you know how a man's pride is.
(Yeah, I'm all alone. Nobody wanna give to me, baby.)
Sometimes it won't kinda let him do what he wanna do.
(Oh, I) Yeah, oh baby.
(Oh, I) Come on back to me, darling,
(miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you,) Because I miss you, baby.
I don't want nobody else.
Hey! (baby.)
Yeah, baby.
Hey, baby. (Oh, I)
Oh baby. (Oh, I)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
I miss you, baby. (miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you)
I miss you, baby.
I don't know what to do with my time, with myself. (baby.)
Without you, baby,
Hmm, guess what? (It ain't no future, baby.)
I know this is gonna knock you dead but, (Lord, I cannot go on without you, baby,)
huh, I even went out and got a gig.
Oh. (''Cause everything I do, everything I say.)
Forgot you knew hip to the hip talk, plain J-O-B, baby.
(Because of you, baby,) In eight hours a week, all the overtime I can get.
(My life, my life is being missed because of you,)
I don't know, I guess it might be too late, but, (That without you, I'd die.)
(Oh, I) I swear I miss you.
(Oh, I) Yeah, no, no.
(miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you,) Don't do me like this, baby.
Yeah, I'm on my knees. (baby.)
I'm begging you please. (Oh, I)
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby. (Oh, I)
I miss you, baby. (miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you,)
Oh Lord.
Yeah, yeah. (baby.)
Oh yeah. Oh baby.
(Oh, I) Yeah, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.
(Oh, I) I can't go on without you, baby.
(miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you,) What am I gonna do?
What can I say? (baby.)
I love you, baby.
(Ha.) You know, (I love you, baby.)
Remember how I always used to say how lucky I done been?
(I love you more than I even love myself.) You know being they got that,
(I don't know 'bout you, but I wouldn't do by myself.) that lottery.
I hit it. (Oh baby.)
Like to kinda make up for (Just don't so me like this, baby.)
a lot of things that just seem (Oh Lord.) not to go right. (Yeah, baby.)
Don't want you to think I'm trying to buy back your love or your friendship.
(What am I gonna do? Oh, what am I gonna do?)
But now I feel I got a chance to kinda make things up to you a little bit.
('Cause I miss you, baby. Miss you, baby.)
Enough about you and me. (Miss you, baby.)
How's my little son? (I don't mean to bore ya, but I got to tell you this.)
Did he ever ask about me, (Ha.) heh, just a little bit?
(I know, I know you found somebody new and I just don't know what to do,)
Does he still like to go down by the ('Cause I miss you, baby.) supermarket?
(I bet he don't love you like that, baby.)
(He can give you the world, fill your heart full of joy,) If I can just...
(But he doesn't miss you like I do, baby.) If I can just see you.
Heh, can't really mean by what you say or what you want over the phone. (Hey, baby.)
I swear I done changed. (I don't have much to give. I just wanna live.)
(Will you come back to me, baby?) You done heard it ten times or more, but I swear I done changed.
(Yeah...) I swear I done changed.
(Oh, I) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, baby.
(Oh, I) Yeah, baby.
(miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you,) I miss you, baby.
Oh Lord.
Yeah, baby. (baby.)
Yeah, baby.
Yeah, baby. (Oh, I)
Yeah, baby.
Oh, baby. (Oh, I)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, baby.
(miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you,) Come back to me, baby.
(baby.) If you don't, I just wanna die.
Oh, I
