[Verse 1]
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 sometime

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

[Verse 2]
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 goingna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls thats just dying to meet you
We're goinna bring a case of wine
Hey, let's go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to"

[Verse 3]
Yeah, we gon' do come midtown
You know, go mess and fool around
Eh, man, what's with you?
Yeah, you've been strung up for her too long
You know, girls will come and go
They're just like street cars
I said
"I've been staying here too long
You know, sometimes I feel abandoned"
Ooh, baby
I said
"Well, well, well, well"

[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah

[Post-Chorus]
Come on, come on, come on

[Verse 4]
I've been walkin' Central Park, singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
Stumbling on my feet, shuffling through the street
Asking people, "What's the matter with you, boy?"
Sometimes, I want to say to, to myself
Sometimes I say

[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
