“Missing You” is the hit lead single from Case’s third LP Open Letter. The song was also featured in the 2000 comedy film Nutty Professor II: The Klumps.
Stylistically, the lush R&B song rehashes the drum pattern and bassline from the chorus of Mary J. Blige’s “Everything” (1997) produced by Ji...
[Verse 1]
Standing here lookin' out my window
My nights are long and my days are cold 'cause I don't have you
How can I be so damn demanding?
I know you said that it's over now but I can't let go
[Pre-Chorus]
Every day, I want to pick up the phone
And tell you that
You're everything I need and more
If only I could find you
[Chorus]
Like a cold summer afternoon
Like the snow coming down in June
Like a wedding without a groom
I'm missing you
I'm the desert without the sand
You're the woman without a man
I'm a ring without a hand
I'm missing you
[Verse 2]
Driving 'round, thought I saw you pass me
My rear-view mirror's playing tricks on me 'cause you fade away
Maybe I'm just hallucinating
'Cause my loneliness got the best of me and my heart's so weak
[Pre-Chorus]
Every day, I want to pick up the phone
And tell you that you're everything I need and more
If only I could find you
[Chorus]
Like a cold summer afternoon
Like the snow coming down in June
Like a wedding without a groom
I'm missing you
I'm the desert without the sand
You're the woman without a man
I'm a ring without a hand
I'm missing you
Like a cold summer afternoon
Like the snow coming down in June
Like a wedding without a groom
I'm missing you
I'm the desert without the sand
You're the woman without a man
I'm a ring without a hand
I'm missing you
[Interlude]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Said I'm, I'm missing you
[Chorus]
Like a cold summer afternoon
Like the snow coming down in June
Like a wedding without a groom
I'm missing you
I'm the desert without the sand
You're the woman without a man
I'm a ring without a hand
I'm missing you
Like a cold summer afternoon
Like the snow coming down in June
Like a wedding without a groom
I'm missing you
I'm the desert without the sand
You're the woman without a man
I'm a ring without a hand
I'm missing you
Like a cold summer afternoon
Like the snow coming down in June
Like a wedding without a groom
I'm missing you
I'm the desert without the sand
You're the woman without a man
I'm a ring without a hand
I'm missing you
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
