Miss You Lyrics
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.
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been staring in my dreams
Lord I miss you.
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 gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' 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."
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Oh everybody waits so long
Oh baby why you wait so long
Won't you come on! Come on!
I've been walking Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people, "What's the matter with you boy?"
Sometimes I want to say to myself
Sometimes I say
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
I won't miss you child
I guess I'm lying to myself
It's just you and no one else
Lord I won't miss you child
You've been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time
No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah
Lord, I miss you child
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Lord, I miss you child
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Lord, I miss you child
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
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.
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
You've been staring in my dreams
Lord I miss you.
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?

One of the sexiest songs I've ever heard.....must be the bass....so sexy!
Eeek! We keep running into each other!! :) Great song huh?!
This was written during the tine Jagger took up with Jerry Hall. note the sly reference, "I've been sleeping in the hall".
it's "I've been waiting in the hall".
it's "I've been waiting in the hall".
it's "I've been waiting in the hall".
it's "I've been waiting in the hall".
This song is about Mick Jagger getting out of a long relationship and a friend of his trying to help him get over her by taking him back out on the "scene," so to speak. Over the course of the song he goes from truly missing her to trying to tell himself that he's glad she's gone.
this song is hot, you can really feel mick's frustrations as he sings, and that bass line is amazing
What a great comeback from the dead they made with this album. I never liked disco but the Stones did it better than any disco act could ever have hoped to.
I think he's totally conflicted, not just having lost a love and mourning it, but wanting it back emotioanally, and not wanting it back logically, hence the "I won't miss you baby" and then the "Lord I miss you child".
I've never thought there was anything disco about this song, except perhaps the time period it came out in. I was a tween and I never would have classified this as disco.
written for Jerry Hall
Enrique Iglesias as in Sr. co-wrote this???!! :O
By far one of the most complete Rolling Stone songs in their portfolio. Great beat, sexy bounce, brilliant instrumental and arrangement, engaging story line about a man who cant be with his true love,
