How I Miss You Baby

Bobby Womack · Poetry In Motion [2007]

Oh, how I miss you, baby

Oh, how I miss you, baby

Listen to me



It's only been a week ago

But it seems like years

And it's getting sort of hard

To see through tears



'Cause now you're gone

And I know for myself

That I can't find happiness

With nobody else



Oh, how I miss you, baby

Oh, how I miss you, baby

Listen to me



I find myself calling out your name

In the middle of the night

And I still hear you saying, darling

No, no, two wrongs don't make it right



I thought I could cope it all alone

But I was so wrong

'Cause it didn't gain me one solitary thing

But an unhappy home



Oh, how I miss you, baby

Oh, how I miss you, baby



I wanna say sorry

Oh, but it ain't a strong enough word

For once in my life I'm so sincere

And I mean every word



I listen to what my friends had to say

But ooh, they messed me up again

'Cause I haven't seen a good day, baby

Since you know when



I never thought it could ever

Affect me this way

But I'm drownin' in a sea of misery

And all I can think of to say



Oh, how I miss you, baby

Oh, how I miss you, baby



I've got to keep on singing

Oh, how I miss you, baby

I swear, I swear
