I was on my way home

Been thinkin' 'bout you all day long

And how good it was gonna be

With your arms around me



And I saw that detour sign

Said they closed down 929

Gonna make me an hour late

Ain't nothin' more I hate

Yeah, a little bit of missin' you

Goes a long, long way



I can't imagine not always havin'

Your sweet lovin' makin' my day

Without you, baby, I'd go crazy

And this world could be a lonely place

Oh, a little bit of missin' you

Goes a long, long way



When I finally got to you, girl

It felt like the weight of the world

Had been lifted off my back

Your one touch does all that

Yeah, and a little bit of missin' you

Goes a long, long, long, long, long, long way



I can't imagine not always havin'

Your sweet lovin' makin' my day

Without you, baby, I'd go crazy

And this world would be a lonely place

Oh, a little bit of missin' you

Goes a long, long way



That's right

I can't take but a little bit

Of missin' you



Now I'll do what I have to do

To spend my life lovin' you

'Cause I know in my heart

We were never meant to be apart



Yeah, and it's so good to be kissin' you

Oh, honey, a little bit of missin' you

Goes a long, long, long, long way



I was on my way home
