Baby, all that I hear from my friends again, again And again (come and ask 'bout you) They say "We saw your girl at the game and damn We gotta say a big mistake by you" Not only does your body bang But I miss the conversation, too Tell me that you're gettin' no sleep, can't think Can't eat, 'til I come see you If I had my way, I'd come and getcha girl In your favorite car with the missing top Remember 'round my way where we used to park And did all those things to steal your heart It's been about a year now Ain't seen or heard from you I've been missing you crazy How do you, how do you sleep?
