I’ve been holding out so long
I’ve been sleeping all alone
Girl I miss you, yeah

I’ve been hanging on the phone
I’ve been sleeping all alone
I wanna kiss you, yeah

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

Well, I’ve been haunted in my sleep
You’ve been starring in my dreams
Girl I miss you, yeah

I’ve been waiting in the hall
I've been waiting on your call
And when the phones ring

It’s just some friends of mine and they say
“Hey, what’s the matter man?
We’re gonna come around at twelve
With some pretty girls that are just tryin’ to meet you

We’re gonna bring a case of wine
And let’s go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to”

Aah aah aah
Aah aah aah

Tell me why
Oh, everybody waits so long
Oh, tell me why you wait so long
Baby, tell me why you wait so long
Won’t you just come on! Come on!

Listen
I’ve been walking in Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I’m crazy

I’ve been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people
“Yo, what’s the matter with you boy?”

Sometimes
I wanna say to myself
Sometimes
I wanna say to myself

Sometimes I wanna say
I won’t miss you girl
But then again I guess
I’ll just be lying to myself

It’s just you baby
And no one, no one else, no
I, I won’t miss you girl
Oh no

'Cause you been messing up my mind, yeah
And you been wasting all my time
Oh oh, Lord
No, I won’t miss you baby, no, yes
