missing you.
Biggie Smalls feat. 112 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all the things we used to do
I never thought that I would lose you
'Cause you were always my boo
Sitting here wondering where we
Wondering where we went wrong
'Cause now I'm here all alone
Wishing you'd come back home, so tell me
[Chorus:]
Why, why, why did you have to go away
Got me missing you every day
Baby tell me why
Why, why did you have to go away
Got me missing you every day
Every day I'm missing you
I don't understand why you left
Baby what didn't I do
Wasn't I always there for you
And wasn't I good to you
How was I to know something was wrong
Baby, I can't read minds
All you had to do was tell me
But you kept it all inside
Girl I'll never find another
Another one to take your place
'Cause you were so, so good to me baby
And you kept the smile upon my face
And I'm on my bended knee and I'm crying
Won't you come back to me
To me, 'cause you mean the world to me
Why, why, why did you have to go away
Got me missing you every day
Oh tell me why
Why, why did you have to go away
Got me missing you every day
I'm missing you
Why, why go away every day
Why, why go away every day
I'm missing you
Why, why go away every day
The above lyrics are from "Missing You," a song by Biggie Smalls featuring 112. The song is about missing someone who has left, reflecting on the good times they had together and wondering what went wrong. Biggie Smalls expresses his regrets for not being able to prevent the person from leaving and questions why they had to go away.
The song is filled with emotions, and the artist's pain is evident as he sings about his longing for the person who is no longer there. Biggie Smalls raps about how much he misses his partner and what he would do to get them back into his life. He also admits that he may never find someone who can replace the person he lost.
The song was released in 1997 and became a top 40 hit in the US, reaching number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was a posthumous release, as Biggie Smalls (real name Christopher Wallace) had been killed in a drive-by shooting earlier that year. The song was included on the posthumous album "Life After Death."

Sitting here thinking about you
Reflecting on memories of you
And all the things we used to do
Recalling past experiences shared with you
I never thought that I would lose you
Never imagined life without you
'Cause you were always my boo
Because you were always my loving companion
Sitting here wondering where we
Thinking about the past of us
Wondering where we went wrong
Questioning what led to our separation
'Cause now I'm here all alone
Finding myself alone without you
Wishing you'd come back home, so tell me
Desiring for you to return and longing for an explanation
Why, why, why did you have to go away
Asking for a reason for your departure
Got me missing you every day
Causing me to yearn for you constantly
Baby tell me why
Asking for an explanation and understanding
I don't understand why you left
Finding it difficult to comprehend your departure
Baby what didn't I do
Questioning if I lacked something in our relationship
Wasn't I always there for you
Recalling the moments of support given to you
And wasn't I good to you
Recalling acts of kindness and affection given to you
How was I to know something was wrong
Expressing confusion of not being aware of an issue
Baby, I can't read minds
Acknowledging one's inability to perceive others' thoughts
All you had to do was tell me
Wishing for communication and transparency
But you kept it all inside
Realizing that the other person chose not to share their troubles
Girl I'll never find another
Confessing the unlikelihood of finding another person like you
Another one to take your place
Acknowledging no one can replace you
'Cause you were so, so good to me baby
Appreciating past moments and kindness shared together
And you kept the smile upon my face
Remembering the joy you brought into life
And I'm on my bended knee and I'm crying
Expressing feelings of sadness and vulnerability
Won't you come back to me
Pleading for the return of the other person
To me, 'cause you mean the world to me
Expressing how much the other person means to you
Why, why go away every day
Asking why the other person had to leave and feeling the absence daily

I must have been about 50 years old when I first heard this song driving back from work. The next day I bought the double CD of Notorious Big just for this song. This was my introduction to RAP. I'm now 71 and still love this song and RAP.
