Missing You
Mary J. Blige Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It"s just some kind of thing I'm goin through
Goin' through, goin' through
And it's not infatuation
Ain't nothin' goin' on between me and you
Me and you, me and you
But I dream about it every night, baby
Wantin' you here with me
And oh
[Chorus]
I'm missin you like crazy
Body and soul is achin'
I'm out of control
Missing you so
I'm missing you
Missing you
I'm missing you
Missing you
I'm missing you
I'm not in love, oh no no no
And that's what I just keep tellin' myself
Over and over again
And I'm not the least bit amused by it baby
Yet still I don't want to be with nobody else
No no no
And I dream about you all the time
Touchin' and kissin' me
And makin' love to me
And oh
[Chorus]
God knows I'm tryin' to keep you out of my head
I ain't tryin' to love no one
I ain't tryin' to get hurt again, no
But there's something that just gutts in my skin
And all I know is I can't let go
And that's the way it is
[Chorus]
The lyrics to Mary J. Blige’s “Missing You” speak of a disconnect between the mind and the heart. The singer claims that she is not in love, nor is she infatuated with anyone, yet she continues to dream of being with a particular person. The sentiment expressed in the song is that of trying to control one’s emotions by convincing oneself repeatedly that they are not in love, only to fail miserably at it.
The chorus reveals how much the singer is struggling with missing this person, where she is out of control, and her body and soul ache for them. The lyrics also explore how one can be hurt by love in the past, and how they try to protect themselves by avoiding falling in love again. However, even that does not seem to work since the hold this person has on the singer is too strong.
Overall, “Missing You” is a beautiful song that captures the struggle of the human heart to tame its emotions in the presence of overwhelming love. While the singer tries to resist falling for this person, her heart ultimately wins, and she recognizes how much she misses them, body and soul.

I'm not in love
I am not in love with you
It's just some kind of thing I'm goin through
