The O'Jays - I Miss You

Copied!

{chorus}
I miss you
Yes i miss you (miss you, miss you) woo
I miss you

{verse 1}
I miss phoning you at breakfast
About 7:15
Just like having toast and coffee
It was part of my routine

{pre-chorus}
I miss you waving from your window
As i'd run past your house at 8:00
Tryin' to catch my bus
So i wouldn't be late

{chorus}
I miss you in the worst kind of way (darling i miss you)
I miss you more and more each day (darling i miss you)
I wonder if you miss me too (really, really miss you)
Half as much as i (darling i) miss you, oh
Baby, baby (miss you)

{verse 2}
Mmh-mmh, i miss seeing you at lunchtime
In the park where we'd meet
And we'd end up feeding pigeons
We where too in love to eat

{pre-chorus}
The bench we sat on now seems empty
The life i live now empty too
'cause i can't get used to livin'
My life without you

{chorus}
I miss you in the worst kind of way (darling i miss you)
I miss you more and morе each day (darling i miss you)
I wonder if you miss me too (rеally, really miss you)
Half as much as i (darling i) miss you, oh
Baby, baby, baby
(miss you) i miss you
Ooh baby, baby (yes i miss you, miss you) eh-eh-eh-eh
Yes i do, yes i do, oh baby (i miss you)
I miss you, i miss you
Hey baby (yes i miss you) i don't know, but i'm gonna see if you leave (miss you)
Oh baby, oh baby

{outro}
I miss ya, yes i do (darling i miss you)
(darling i miss you)
(really, really miss you)
(darling i miss you)
(ah-ah-ah)
