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

Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo

Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
Lord I miss you child
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,
Hey, what's the matter man?
We're gonna come around at twelve o'clock
With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you,
We're gonna bring a case of wine,
Hey, let's go mess and fool around,
You know, like we used to.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Oh! everybody waits so long
Oh! baby why you wait so long
Won't you come on! come on!

I've been walking Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling thro' the street
Asking people, what's the matter with you Jim boy?

Sometimes what I want to say to myself
Sometimes I say

Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo

I guess I'm lying to myself
It's just you and no one else
Lord I won't miss you child
You've just been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time
No I won't miss you baby

Lord I miss your touch

Oh ooh

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
