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
Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
Lord, I miss you
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
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
Oh, everybody waits so long
Oh, baby, why you wait so long?
Won't you come on?
Come on!
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
Asking people: What's the matter with you, boy?
Sometimes, I want to say to myself
Sometimes, I say
I won't miss you, child
I guess I'm lying to myself
It's just you and no one else
Lord, I won't miss you, child
You've been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time
No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah
Lord, I miss you, child
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Lord, I miss you, child
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Lord, I miss youn child
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah
He estado aguantando tanto tiempo
He estado durmiendo solo
Señor, te extraño
He estado esperando en el teléfono
He estado durmiendo solo
Quiero besarte
Bueno, he sido perseguido en mi sueño
Has estado protagonizando mis sueños
Señor, te extraño
He estado esperando en el pasillo
Esperando tu llamada
Cuando suena el teléfono
Son solo algunos amigos míos que dicen
Oye, ¿qué pasa, hombre?
Vamos a pasar por aquí a las doce
Con unas chicas boricuas que mueren por conocerte
Vamos a traer un par de botellas de vino
Oye, vamos a liarla y pasar un rato
Ya sabes, como solíamos hacer
Ah, todos esperan tanto tiempo
Ah, cariño, ¿por qué esperas tanto?
¿No vendrás?
¡Vamos, ven!
He estado caminando en Central Park
Cantando después del anochecer
La gente piensa que estoy loco
He estado tropezando
Deambulando por la ciudad
Preguntando a la gente: ¿Qué te pasa, chico?
A veces, quiero decirme a mí mismo
A veces, digo
No te extrañaré, cariño
Supongo que me estoy mintiendo a mí mismo
Eres solo tú y nadie más
Señor, no te extrañaré, cariño
Has estado nublando mi mente
Engañándome
No, no te extrañaré, cariño, sí
Señor, te extraño, cariño
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Señor, te extraño, cariño
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Señor, te extraño, cariño
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah
