The tempo of The Rolling Stones' “Miss You” is slowed down to a “sensual simmer”. James modified the gender mentioned in the lyrics, singing “Puerto Rican boys just dying to meet you”.
I've been holding out so long
I've been sleeping all alone
Cause I miss you
I've been hanging on the phone
I've been sleeping all alone
I wanna kiss you
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
I've been moaning in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
Cause I miss you child
I've been waiting in the hall
I've been waiting for your call
And the phone rings
It's just a friend of mine saying
"Hey hey, what's the matter with you, girl?
We're gonna come around about twelve
With some bad Puerto Rican dudes oooh
They are going to be just dyin' to meet you
We're gonna bring a case of wine
And we're gonna mess around like we used to"
Laa Laa Laa Laa Laa Laa Laa
Laa Laa Laa Laa Laa Laa Laa
Laa Laa Laa Laa Laa Laa Laa
Laa Laa Laa Laa Laa Laa Laa
Laa Laa Laa Laa
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
I miss you, baby
Baby, why did you wait so long?
I wanna know
Baby, why did you wait so long?
Hey! Come on! Come on!
I've been walking Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
Stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people "Hey, what's the matter with ya, boy?"
Sometimes I want to say to myself
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh baby
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh baby
Guess I'm lying to myself
There's just you and nobody nobody else
Cause I miss you, baby
I've been waiting in the hall
Waiting on your call
And the phone rings
It's just a friend of mine saying
"Hey hey, girl what's the matter with you?
We're gonna come around about twelve and
With some Puerto Rican dudes
Oooh hey yay yay yay yay yay
They're just dyin' to meet you
We're gonna bring a case of wine
We're gonna mess around
You know what I mean like we used to ah"
La la la la
I've been waiting in the hall
Waiting on your call
Oooh oooh
Cause I miss you, baby
I guess I'm lying to myself
There's just you and no one else believe me baby
And I miss you baby
I miss you baby
