miss you
The Rolling Stones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
I've been hanging on the phone
I've been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
Lord I miss you
I've been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
It's just some friends of mine that say
"Hey, what's the matter man?
We're gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you
We're gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, let's go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to"
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah
Oh everybody waits so long
Oh baby why you wait so long
Won't you come on, come on
I've been walking in Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people, "What's the matter with you boy?"
Sometimes I want to say to myself
Sometimes I say
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
I won't miss you child
I guess I'm lying to myself
It's just you and no one else
Lord I won't miss you child
You've been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time
No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah
Lord, I miss you child
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah
Lord, I miss you child
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah
Lord, I miss you child
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah
The Rolling Stones' "Miss You" is a song about a man who is missing his lover. He's been waiting for her call, but when the phone rings, it's just his friends calling to invite him out for a night on the town. Despite his efforts to distract himself from his longing for his partner, he can't help but think about her constantly. He's even been dreaming about her. The song ends with the singer admitting that he won't miss her, but in reality, he can't stop thinking about her and missing her.
There are several possible interpretations of the song. Some listeners believe that it's about Mick Jagger's separation from his wife Bianca at the time. Others see it as a commentary on the increasingly disconnected state of human relationships in modern society. Still others find it to be a straightforward love song.
One of the notable features of the song is its disco influence. The Rolling Stones had historically been associated with a blues-rock sound, but "Miss You" incorporates elements of funk and disco. This shift in sound was controversial among some fans, but the song was nonetheless a commercial success.

I have been asking people what is wrong with them
No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah
I will not yearn for you anymore
Lord, I miss you child

Most definitely. Bill Wyman is super underrated as a bassist. Those badass, bouncy riffs along with Charlie’s legendary drum groove switch ups were the best 🔥🔥🔥
