Yesterday about half past noon
I saw you walking down the street
I hid my face behind my hands
Cause I didn't want our eyes to meet
I wanted to call out your name
Girl I felt so ashamed
Cause of the things I used to do
And the way I treated you
If I could turn back the hands of time
Girl you know you'd still be mine
You stayed in my life for a week
And now I need pills to sleep
Cause I be I be
I be I be
I be missing you oh
I be I be
I be oh I be
I be missing you
I be missing missing you missing you missing you
I be missing missing you missing you missing you
You don't miss your water
Till the well runs dry
I heard the saying over and over
Since I was two feet high
I wish I knew back then
What I know right now
But my head was much too hard
Won't no way no how
Maya Angelou asked
Why'd the caged bird sings
I'm sure you know the answer
Since you heard freedom ring
I took your love for granted
Always leaving you behind
And now that you don't want me no more
I'm about to lose my mind
Cause I be I be
I be I be
I be missing you hey
I be I be
I be I be
I be missing you hey
I be missing missing you missing you missing you
I be missing missing you missing you missing you
Girl I girl I
I I I sho' be missing you
I miss the way you get up early in the morning
You walking through the house
With your with your house coat on
Girl you you know you be turning me on
And I I miss the way you used to dance
When you put when you put your B B king records on
Girl you be moving ooh just the way I like it girl
I I be missing you
And early on Sunday morning you wake me up and tell me
It's time to get up and go to church
And and give thanks to the Lord
And I I I be I be
Sho' be missing you hey
I be missing missing you missing you missing you
I ain't afraid to tell you girl
I be missing missing you missing you missing you
I said I ain't afraid to tell you baby
I be missing missing you missing you missing you
I ain't afraid to tell you baby
I be missing missing you missing you missing you
I be missing missing you missing you missing you
I be missing missing you missing you missing you
