Missing you
Mary J. Blige The Lox 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]

I'm not in love
I don't have feelings of love
It's just some kind of thing I'm goin through
I'm experiencing something I can't fully explain
Goin' through, goin' through
This is an ongoing feeling I have
And it's not infatuation
It's not just a passing attraction
Ain't nothin' goin' on between me and you
There's nothing happening between us
But I dream about it every night, baby
I have intense fantasies about being with you
Wantin' you here with me
I deeply desire for you to be physically present with me
Makin' love to me
I fantasize about intimate, physical moments with you
And oh
Expressing an intense longing
I'm missin you like crazy
I'm yearning for you intensely
Body and soul is achin'
I'm experiencing both physical and emotional pain
I'm out of control
I feel like I've lost my grip on my emotions
Missing you so
I'm feeling a deep sense of absence
God knows I'm tryin' to keep you out of my head
I'm making a conscious effort to not think about you
I ain't tryin' to love no one
I'm not in a place to start a new romantic relationship
I ain't tryin' to get hurt again, no
I don't want to experience the pain of heartbreak again
But there's something that just gutts in my skin
I'm feeling a powerful and unexplainable emotion
And all I know is I can't let go
I'm struggling to move on from my feelings for you
And that's the way it is
That's just the reality of my situation
