In 2005, Glenn and the band he formed won a Battle Of The Bands competition on the island of Maui. With numerous performances already under his belt, Glenn formed Maoli in early 2008 with a new lineup of talented musicians. This Fall marks the release of Maoli's full-length debut album entitled, Groovin, on Pacific Island Records. The album's lead single, No One, is already receiving airplay statewide and is gaining popularity on island music airwaves. Other standout tracks from Maoli include the heartfelt Write Me A Letter, a song about missing a loved one, featuring Malino’s Braddah Vince and the uptempo, Groovin’, featuring the sweet vocal sounds of Piilani Arias.
Missing You
Maoli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's your love, baby (oh, yeah, oh, yeah-yeah)
I′ve been trying so hard
I'm left out in the cold
And now I start to wonder
If there is no more
I′m telling you, there′s nobody else
That could ever love the way that you do
And this is why I can't get over you
Oh, love
I′m missing you
Baby, come tell me why it always hurts (oh, yeah)
Oh, love
I'm missing you
Baby, come tell me why it always hurts (oh, yeah)
When those times start to get in my head
It′s just so hard to give you away
Baby, 'cause I let that pretty little woman get in close to me (oh, yeah)
Give me love, put me in ecstasy
Oh, love
I′m missing you
Baby, come tell me why it always hurts (oh, yeah)
Oh, love
I'm missing you
Baby, come tell me why it always hurts (oh, yeah)
Baby, If I never made you feel like you're the one
Time to seal the deal and get you feeling on the love
Baby, you deserve a kind of man that keeps it real (yes, real, yeah)
But even though you never seen me coming like this
It took a little while just to see what I missed
So here′s a dozen roses, let me fill you with a kiss
Upon your lips, and just let me say
Love
I′m missing you
Baby, come tell me why it always hurts (oh, yeah)
Oh, love
I'm missing you
Baby, come tell me why it always hurts (oh, yeah)
Baby now, love
I′m missing you
Baby, come tell me why it always hurts, every day
Oh, love
I'm missing you
Baby, come tell me why it always hurts (oh, yeah)
The lyrics to Maoli's song "Missing You" convey a sense of longing and heartbreak. The singer expresses their deep feelings of missing someone and being unable to let go of their love. The first verse captures the singer's desperation and confusion, as they wonder if there is no hope for reconciliation or if their love is truly over. The lines "I just can't help myself, I'm telling you, there's nobody else" show their inability to move on and find someone else who could love them the way their missing partner does.
The chorus further emphasizes the pain of missing someone, as the singer pleads for an explanation as to why it always hurts. The repetition of "oh, love" highlights the intensity of their emotions, emphasizing that it is not just an ordinary longing but a deep connection they are grieving.
In the second verse, the singer struggles with the memories and thoughts of their missing love. They find it difficult to let go of the connection they once had, describing the difficulty of giving them away to someone else. The mention of a "pretty little woman" implies that the singer may have been tempted by someone else, but they still long for their missing love's affection and ecstasy.
The bridge suggests remorse and a realization of the missing love's worth, as the singer acknowledges their mistakes and expresses the desire to make it up to them. They describe wanting to show love and appreciation through gestures like a dozen roses and a tender kiss. The lyrics end with a plea for the missing love to return, as the singer still feels the pain of their absence.

Your love is everything to me and brings me joy and happiness
I've been trying so hard
I have been putting in so much effort
I'm left out in the cold

If there is no more
If our love has come to an end
Ooh, baby, I just can't help myself
I am unable to control my feelings
I'm telling you, there's nobody else
There is no one else like you

Upon your lips, and just let me say
Let me express myself and tell you
Baby now, love
At this moment, my love
I'm missing you
I long for you
Baby, come tell me why it always hurts, every day
Please explain to me why I am constantly in pain
Oh, love
Oh, my beloved
I'm missing you
I am filled with longing for you
Baby, come tell me why it always hurts (oh, yeah)
Please let me know the reason behind this constant pain
