Based on sales, Boyz II Men is one of the most successful R&B groups of all time, having recorded five #1 pop hits between 1992 and 1997. They have since topped sales of 25 million records. Three of their #1 hits, "End of the Road", "I'll Make Love to You", and "One Sweet Day" (a duet with Mariah Carey), set and broke records for the longest period of time a single remained at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Boyz II Men were originally signed to Motown Records from 1990 to 2000, at which point they were moved to parent label Universal Records. After the 2000 album Nathan Shawn Michael Wanya, Boyz II Men moved to Arista Records. In 2003, Michael McCary left the group due to chronic back problems resulting from scoliosis. As of 2005, Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Nathan Morris continue to tour and record as a trio.

And blow out the candlelight
For tonight is just your night
We're gonna celebrate
All through the night
Pour the wine, light the fire
Girl your wish is my command
I will do anything
Girl you need only ask
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
'Til you tell me to
Girl relax, let's go slow
I ain't got nowhere to go
I'm just gonna concentrate on you
Girl are you ready?
It's gonna be a long night
Throw your clothes on the floor
I'm gonna take my clothes off too
I made plans to be with you
Girl whatever you ask me you know I can do
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
'Til you tell me to
Baby tonight is your night
And I will do you right
Just make a wish on your night
Anything that you ask
I will give you the love of your life
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
'Til you tell me to
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
'Til you tell me to
The lyrics to Boyz II Men's song "I Miss You" are a raw and emotional expression of longing and heartbreak. The singer is lamenting over the loss of a loved one, wishing they could hear their voice again and struggling to come to terms with the fact that they are no longer together.
The first verse speaks to the power of the mind to play tricks on us. The singer hears a voice that they think is their loved one, only to realize that it was merely a figment of their imagination. This highlights the intense desire to reconnect with the person they have lost, and the difficulty in accepting that they are no longer there.
The second verse touches on the physical and emotional effects of the breakup. The singer feels a sense of loneliness and fear at night, and hopes that the phone ringing might be their loved one calling to reconcile. However, as time passes, they begin to realize that this hope may be in vain.
The chorus of the song is a repeated expression of the title phrase "I miss you." It is a simple yet powerful way to encapsulate the deep sense of loss and longing that the singer feels. The bridge is a bit more hopeful, pondering the possibility of a reconciliation and expressing the desire to be strong enough to carry on if it doesn't happen.
Overall, "I Miss You" is a powerful ode to loss, heartbreak, and the pain of separation. It captures the intense longing and sadness that can come with a breakup and shows Boyz II Men's ability to convey raw emotions in their music.

Thought I heard your voice yesterday
I thought I heard you speaking to me yesterday
When I turned around to say that I loved you baby
When I looked back to express my love for you
I realize, it was just my mind played tricks on me
I finally understood that it was just my imagination playing a game with me
And it seems colder lately at night
I have been feeling cold at nights lately
And I try to sleep with the lights on
I try to sleep by keeping the lights on
Every time the phone rings I pray to God it's you
Whenever the phone rings, I pray that it is you on the other end
And I just can't believe that we're through
I cannot accept the fact that we are no longer together
I miss you
I feel the absence of you
There's no other way to say it
I cannot put it in any other words
And I can't deny it
I cannot deny the feelings I have
It's so easy to see
It is plainly visible and understandable
I miss you and me
I miss the two of us together
Is it turning over this time
Is this a new beginning for us
Have we really changed our minds about each other's love
Did we both change our perspectives about each other's love
All the feelings that we used to share
All the emotions that we had shared earlier
I refuse to believe that you don't care
I cannot accept that you do not care
I've got to gather myself as together
I have to compose myself together
I've been through worst kinds of weather
I have faced terrible situations previously
If it's over now then I'll be strong
If it is the end of us, then I will gain strength from it
Can't believe that you're gone
I cannot accept that you have left me
I've got to carry over
I have to move on
Oh there's no other way to say it
There is no other way to express this
That you're deprived of me now
You are no longer with me
I miss you
I feel your absence
Said I can't deny it
I cannot refuse to accept it
I, I, I, I miss you baby
I miss you strongly, my love
It's so easy to see
It is plainly visible and understandable
I miss you and me
I miss the two of us together

There is this guy who has been soooooo good to me but I immediately unfollowed him when I found out that he was an atheist. Now he's giving me the silent treatment ever since. Now, I'm missing him so bad! π’
