Miss You Much

Janet Jackson

Shot

Like an arrow through my heart

That’s the pain I feel

I feel whenever we’re apart

Not to say that I’m in love with you

But who’s to say that I’m not

I just know that it feels wrong

When I’m away too long

It makes my body hot

So let me tell ya baby

I’ll tell your mama, I’ll tell your friends

I’ll tell anyone whose heart can comprehend

Send it in a letter, baby tell you on the phone

I’m not the kinda girl who likes to be alone

I miss ya much (boy, oh, I, miss you much)

I really miss you much (M, I, S, S you much)

I miss ya much (boy, oh, I, miss you much)

I really miss you much (M, I, S, S you much)

I’m rushing home, just as soon as I can

I’m rushing home to see your smiling face

And feel your warm embrace

It makes feel so g-g-good

So I’ll tell you baby

I’ll tell your mama, I’ll tell your friends

I’ll tell anyone whose heart can comprehend (baby)

Send it in a letter baby, tell you on the phone

I’m not the kinda girl who likes to be alone

I miss ya much (boy, oh, I, miss you much)

...

I really, really miss you

Miss you much, I miss you much

I brought you here

To tell the world

I miss you

I’ll tell your mama, I’ll tell your friends

I’ll tell anyone whose heart can comprehend, baby

Send it in a letter baby, tell you on the phone

I’m not the kinda girl who likes to be alone
