I Miss Ya

I don't make it a habit of readin' my private mail to everyone
But I just gotta share this one
It's from my ex-old man
Who swore up and down that it was all over between us
And he didn't want me around
I told him in time you'll see but he wouldn't listen to me
Now, I'm not gonna call any names so he won't be ashamed
And I won't have to bear the blame
But listen to this

I missed ya (I miss ya) didn't realize how bad it could be
But, I missed ya (I miss ya) ain't nobody like you baby
I missed ya (I miss ya) missed ya too much girl
I missed ya, sho' do

I talked with a lot of other girls in the city (In the city)
All fingernails, hair all done up
Yeah, they were pretty
With some I even held a conversation ('Bout a minute)
It just didn't feel right
Couldn't seem to put my heart in it

I'd walk on a little further look in their face and I would see your smile
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh)
I couldn't help thinking about you all the while
Thought about all of the good times that we shared
Around every mornin' and every turn I thought about you girl
I didn't know how much I cared

I-I, I missed ya (I miss ya) I put aside my pride
I missed ya (I miss ya) your big boy even cried
I missed ya (I miss ya) you should've seen me drying my eyes
I miss ya, 'sho do

I didn't know that I could feel this way
I always been a big man and I love to play (I love to play, oh)
So I tried to fill all my days and all my nights
With partyin' and pretty girls hangin' out to the broad daylight

And I-I, oh, I tried to get ya out of my mind
Read books went to movies, anything just to kill time
Won't you please reconsider me there's nothin' I wouldn't do
'Cause, uh, with all of my heart and all of my soul
I swear lady, I love you

And I missed ya (I miss ya)
I missed ya, I sho' did-a (I miss ya)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (I miss ya)
I think I even know how to be a better man this time

If you give me another chance girl (Give me another chance girl)
I said give me another chance girl (Give me another chance girl)
Give me another (Give me another)
Give me another (Give me another)
Give me another chance I would rock your world
'Cause I-I-I-I-I miss ya (I miss ya)

I even missed your momma you know I missed ya (I miss ya)
I'll even let ya talk to me during Monday night football girl
Oh, I-I-I missed ya, sho' do

Aw, what do you want from me baby (Everything you got)
Do you want my wallet, my credit cards and my car keys? (Why not)
Mm, you know I missed ya (I miss ya)

While you are gone I realize, yes, I can stay out all night long
And no, I don't feel like I've done anything wrong
And yes, I can throw my clothes on the floor
But no, it don't feel right 'cause you ain't here no more

I-I-I-I-I-I miss ya (I miss ya)
Oh, won't you give me another chance girl
(Give me another chance girl)
Please, give me another chance girl
(Give me another chance girl)

Oh, please
I'll, I'll do more for you than Babyface, girl
(Sounds like a lie to me)

Now do you believe that? He and Babyface sound like they Lyin'
I can just see it, I can feel it talkin' so slick and so smooth
I listened to that record the other day

Talking about all them things he gonna do
Soon as he get home from work, that's easy for him to say
He ain't got no job, that's why he just a trick
Mhm, just like my ex-old man

Give me another chance girl
Why don't ya, give me another chance
Yeah, I know what you miss boy
Ha,ha,ha
I know just what you miss, mhm
I don't know maybe I should take him back
But I sho', I think I'm gone have to sleep on that

Mm,mm,mm,mm,mm (I miss ya)
