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, yeah

Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring 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

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh, yeah

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh, yeah

Ooh baby, why you wait so long?
Ooh baby, why you wait so long?
Won't you come on! Come on!

Well, 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
People ask me "What's the matter with you, girl?"

Hey, what's the matter, girl?
I'm here with some Puerto Rican friends
That are just dying to meet you
We will bring a case of wine
Let's make some fooling around
Like we used to
 
Ooh baby, why you wait so long?
Ooh baby, why you wait so long?
Won't you come on? Come on!
 
I guess I'm lying to myself
It's just you and no one else
Lord, I miss you
Tu me manques, tu me manques
You've been fooling with my mind
Messing with my time
Lord, I miss you, baby, yeah

Oh Lord, I miss you, child
Lord, I miss you, child
