I Miss My Friend
Mario · D.N.A. [2009]
Home alone I can't get no sleep
I'm watchin marathons on T.V.
And (Coal?) is funny but there's
No one here to laugh but me
And it really hurts cause girl you should be
Sitting with your head in my lap watching
And it's gotten to the point
I can't even enjoy nothing without you
[Chorus]
I miss the laughter
And the nights we talked til dawn
The morning afters
Holding you inside my arms
And the sound when we be makin love
And the passion that we thought would never end
But mos of all I miss my friend
[Verse 2]
Driving in my car up some street
With no one in the passenger seat
And no one to fight with me bout
What station is playing
And Kelly Clarkson's on the radio
And so sick cause we can't fight no more
And though I hate this song
I can't help but sing along
It's the closest thing I have to you
[Chorus]
I miss the laughter
And the nights we talked til dawn
The morning afters
Holding you inside my arms
And the sound when we be makin love
And the passion that we thought would never end
But most of all I miss my friend
[Bridge]
And even though the love we had is gone
I'll still remember the good times
While I live my life yours will go on
Yes time will pass but the love we had will last
I miss my babe (3x)
I miss ya baby
[Chorus]
I miss the laughter (Yes I do)
And the nights we talked til dawn (I keep on thinking bout)
The morning afters
Holding you inside my arms
And the sound when we be makin love
And the passion that we thought would never end
But most of all I miss my friend
I miss the laughter
And the nights we talked til dawn (Talks til the dawn)
The morning afters
Holding you inside my arms (Holding you inside my arms Baby Girl)
And the sound when we be makin love
And the passion that we thought would never end
(Thought would never end)
But most of all I miss my friend (But most of all I miss my friend)
I miss my (3x)
I miss my friend (Oh Lord)
I miss my friend (Sigh)
