[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I've been holding out so long
I’ve been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
I've been hanging on so long
I've been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
There’s something I have to say

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
I've been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
And the phone rang
It's just some friends of mine and they're gonna have a time
And they say "Hey, what's the matter man?"
We're going to come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls thats just dying to meet you
We're going to bring a case of wine
Hey, let's go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

[Bridge]
Oh everybody waits so long
Tell me, baby why you wait so long?
Come on, come on

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 4]
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
Shuffling on my feet
People ask me, "What’s the matter with you boy?"
Nothing
Sometimes I want to say
Sometimes I want to say
Sometimes I want to say

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Saxophone Solo]

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
Yeah you've been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time
I won't miss you, baby, yeah
You've been haunted in my sleep
Starring in my dreams
I miss you girl

[Refrain]
I miss you girl
I miss you girl
I miss you baby, when I walk around this way
I miss you girl
Yeah c’mon

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Let's take it out
[Outro]
Oh everybody waits so long
Oh baby why you wait so long
Come on! Come on!
I miss you girl

[Audience Applause]
