Missing You (Live at the House of Blues)
[Verse 1: Joi]
I miss you, baby, since you've been gone
Why'd you have to stay gone so long?
Yesterday seems so far away
'Cause I can't see your beautiful face
I do the same shit, night after night
I've even fried that chicken you like
I opened up the window so you can smell it 'cross town
And maybe it will bring you back around

[Chorus: Joi]
I'm missing you, baby, baby, baby, wishing you were here, baby
I don't know what I'm gonna do without you
I'm missing you, wishing you were here, baby
Really need you come on home

[Verse 2: Joi]
After argument number nine-hundred-and-ninety-two
I said I was really gonna bе through fucking with you
But all these lonely nights arе killing me
So now I'm, I'm longing for nine-hundred-and-ninety-three
Listening to the silence, I can hear you sing
Baby, please don't give my pussy away
But I'ma keep my legs together 'cause you do it better
Better than those other girls and boys did it way
[Chorus: Joi]
I'm missing you, I'm missing you, baby, wishing you were here, baby
And I really, really need you to come on home
I'm missing you, wishing you were here, baby
I, I, I, I sure miss you, baby
I'm missing you, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, wishing you were here, baby
Baby, baby, oh, oh, oh
I'm missing you, sure do miss you, baby, wishing you were here, baby
I miss you and I need you to come on home

[Post-Chorus: Joi]
Ooh, sure do miss you, baby, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 3: Joi]
I miss your smell, I miss your walk
I miss your laugh, I miss your talk
I miss your best, I miss your worst
I miss the last lie and I miss the first
I miss the way you never seem to care
I miss the way you never ever play fair
I miss the way you lose your keys
I miss the way you get on your knees
I miss the way you kiss my lips
I miss the way you grab my hips
I miss the way you pull my hair
I miss your dingy underwear
[Chorus: Joi]
I'm missing you, oh, oh, wishing you were here, baby
Oh, baby, baby, baby, why don't you
I'm missing you, why don't you come on home, wishing you were here, baby
Come on, come on, come on home to me, baby
I'm missing you, I miss you every day, wishing you were here, baby
In the evening, in the morning, even in the midnight hour, baby
I'm missing you, baby, baby, ooh baby, wishing you were here, baby
Baby, I need you to come on home

[Post-Chorus: Joi]
Ooh, sure do miss you, baby, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh

[Outro: Joi]
