We used to talk, and laugh all night girl What happened to those days Did they all just fade away Holding you in my arms Made me feel so happy Then you said you had to go What's wrong? Baby I need to know But now is the day I wish you could come back to make us true But you're long gone away, now I'm missing you I'm missing you baby, I miss you I'm talking to you baby, I miss you I thought you'd be with me forever But I guess someone took my place Took the place of me loving you Making love to you all through the night I wish you were still here So I could see your pretty face again Please come back and rescue me From all this pain and misery There's nothing I wouldn't do to get back next to you I'm missing you every day (I'm missing you every day) I just can't go on this way (I just can't go on this way) Come back to me, I'm begging you please I'm down on my knees, I'm begging you please I miss you
