Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes – I Miss You lyrics

Oooh.....oooh.
Oh, I.
(Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.) Oh, I.
I miss you, baby.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I.
(Oh, I) Oh, I. (Oh, I)
(Miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you.) I miss you, baby.
I swear I do. Mmmm, hmmm.

Ever since you went away,
I ain't doing nothing but thinking
(Thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking) with my head in my hand.
You've been away from me so long
And I just don't think I can carry on, so I started drinking
(Drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking) each and every night.

(Ah...ah...ah) Trying to drown all my loneliness away
And I don't forget a day.
Fall on my hands and knees wishing for your return.
And oh, how I hurt (Oh, how I hurt.)

'Cause I (Oh, I), Oh, I (Oh, I)
I miss you, baby. (Miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you.)
Oh, Lord.

You can look at my eyes and see
That a great big man like me has been
(Crying, crying, crying, crying, crying) Crying my soul and heart out to you, baby.
Sitting in my lonely room
Filled with nothing but gloom and I feel like dying.
(Dying, dying, dying, dying.) Hey, y'all, help me.

(Ah...ah...ah) 'Cause ever since the day you left,
I don't know what to do with myself.
Oh, I wish for your return.
Oh, how I hurt (Oh, how I hurt.)

'Cause I (Oh, I), Oh, I (Oh, I)
I miss you, baby. (Miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you.)
I miss you, baby.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I.
(Oh, I) Oh, I (Oh, I)
I miss you, baby. (Miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you.)
I swear I do.

Oh, I. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I.
(Oh, I) Oh, I (Oh, I) Oh, I...
(Miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, baby.)
I miss you, baby.
Without you, baby, there ain't no future. Yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, no.
(Oh, I) Oh, I (Oh, I)
I miss you, baby. I miss you, baby. I miss you, baby.
Without you, I don't know what to do with myself, what to do with my time.

Hmmm, hello? (Huh. Oh Lord.)
Did I disturb you? (What am I gonna do without you, baby.)
I didn't mean to take up too much of your time, but I just thought I'd give you a ring and see how you was doing.
How's, how's everything? (Oh, I)
(I miss you, baby.) A friend of mine told me he saw you the other day.
(You don't know what I'm talking about.) Said you were still looking good. (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.)
Heh, made me feel kind of good, you know. (Nobody but me.)
(I'm all alone and I miss you, baby.) Told me, told me that you did ask about me. (Yeah, baby. Yeah, baby.)
Heh. (Hey, baby. Oh, baby.)
I've been really meaning to try to get to talk to you for now, but...(Why don't you come back to me, baby.)
Heh, you know how a man's pride is.
(Yeah, I'm all alone. Nobody wanna give to me, baby.)
Sometimes it kind of won't let him do what he wanna do.

(Oh, I) Yeah, oh baby.
(Oh, I) Come on back to me, darling,
(Miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, baby.)
Because I miss you, baby.
I don't want nobody else. Hey! Hey, baby.
Hey, baby. (Oh, I) Oh baby. (Oh, I)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
I miss you, baby. (Miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, baby.)
I miss you, baby.
I don't know what to do with my time, with myself.
Without you, baby,

Hmmm, guess what? (It ain't no future, baby.)
I know this will knock you dead, but
(Lord, I cannot go on without you, baby,) I even went out and got a gig.
('Cause everything I do, everything I say.) Oh, forgot you know hip to the hip talk, plain j-o-b, baby.
(Because of you, baby,) In eight hours a day, all the overtime I can get. (My life)
(My life is being missed because of you.)
I don't know I guess it might be too late, but
(Oh Lord. But without you, I'd die.)

(Oh, I) I swear I miss you. (Oh, I)
Yeah, Lord knows. (Miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, baby.)
Don't do me like this, baby.
Yeah, I'm on my knees, I'm begging you please.
(Oh, I) Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby. (Oh, I)
I miss you, baby. (Miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, baby.) Oh Lord.
Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, baby.
Yeah, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby. (Oh, I)
(Oh, I) I can't go on without you, baby.
(Miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, baby.)
What am I gonna do. What can I say. I love you, baby.

(Huh. I love you, baby.) You know, remember how I used to always saw how lucky I done been.
(I love you more than I even love myself.)
You know, being they got that lottery.
(I wouldn't have to live through the pain if you were by my side.) I hit it.
(Oh, I. Just don't do me like this, baby. Oh Lord.) I'd like to kind of make up for a lot of things that seemed not to go right.
(Yeah, baby.)
(What am I gonna do.) Don't want you think I'm trying to buy back your love or your friendship.
(Oh, what am I gonna do) But now I feel I got a chance to kind of make things up to you a little bit.
('Cause I miss you, baby. Miss you, baby.)
Heh, enough about you and me. (Miss you, baby.)
How's my little son. (I don't mean to bore you, but I got to tell you this.)
Hmmm, he ever ask about me? Just a little bit.
(I know, I know you found somebody knew and I just don't know what to do, 'cause I miss you, baby.)
Does he really like to go down by the supermarket?
(I bet he don't love you like that, baby.)
(He can give you the world, fill your world full of love,)
If I could just...(But he doesn't miss you like I do, baby.)
If I could just see you, heh, can't really say what you mean or what you want over the phone. (Hey, baby.)
I swear I done changed. (I don't have much to give. I just wanna be.)
You done heard it ten times or more, but I swear I done changed.
(Can you come back to me, baby.) I swear I done changed.

Yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, baby. (Oh, I)

(Miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, baby.)
I miss you. baby. Oh Lord. Yeah, baby. Yeah, baby.
Yeah, baby. Yeah, baby. (Oh, I) Oh, baby. (Oh, I)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, baby.
(Miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, baby.)
Come back to me, baby. If you don't, I'm just gonna die.
Oh, I. Oh, I.
