[Chorus]
Oh baby I'm missing you
We used the love so strong
Tell me where do we go
Oh baby I'm missing you
They said I'd learn to forget but it sure ain't happen yet

Been checkin' out the places where we used to go
Been lookin' for your face inside the crowd
I've been talkin' to the people what we used to know
Nobody wants to say where you hang out

And when I call your phone
Seems like you're never home
And you don't return my call
It tears me apart
This is breakin' up my heart

[Chorus]

I still have your pictures hung around my room
That's the only thing that is left of you with me
Girl what can I do to make you come back soon
And make it just the way it used to be

Oh, this is someone new
Can never go on without you
Girl I don't want to think about it
I can't sleep at night
No this can't be right
Come back into my life
(Come back baby come back)

[Chorus]

I know there's a chance for you and I
And I believe there's no way our love could die
So no matter how long it takes I'll wait for you
And what ever it takes I'll be there for you
I'll be there, I'll be there





[Chorus:Repeat x2]

Overall Meaning

The Backstreet Boys' song, "Missing You," is a lamentation of lost love. The chorus expresses the longing for the person he once loved and the inability to move on despite the expectation that time will heal all wounds. The singer recounts his search for his former lover in their favorite haunts and among their common acquaintances. However, no one wants to tell him where she's gone or where she hangs out. Despite his persistent calls, she never picks up the phone or returns his messages, and thus, he feels heartbroken. He ends the chorus with the lines "tell me where do we go" which show his confusion about the future of their relationship.


In the second stanza, the singer talks about the remnants of their past love. He still has her pictures hung around his room and cannot seem to move on even though she is gone. It's clear that he desperately wants her to come back because he cannot imagine being able to have a fulfilling life without her. He mentions that someone new might have entered her life. However, he does not want to think about it, and his sleepless nights imply that he is pining for her.


Overall, "Missing You" tells a poignant story of how the singer is missing his former love and how he is fighting to hold on to the memories of their past love. The story is relatable for anyone who has experienced heartbreak and serves as a reminder that love is an essential part of life.

im a fan from australia

first and only boy band to do all and have their own real fan page on interent with colour photos/MP4 music clips
MP3 music and with fake news
same time as teen magazines come out
but redio chatch on in time and play
quite playing games with my heart
we got it going on
you're the one for me
i want it that way

so refreshing to hear this again after all these years. This is one of their best songs. Also it's quality like this that separates them a lot of other acts.
