Missing
The Vision Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say you love me but you left me behind
I get it on with you
I get it on with you
You say you need me but you're playing with my mind
You say I got issues
You say I got issues

Oh, man, you know you must be blind
A woman like me is hard to find, to be with you
To be with you
Now I don't care what people say
All I wanna do is be with you
Is be with you, yeah

Don't tell me this is just a dream
I wanna wake up and kiss you (yeah, yeah)
I see you in the magazine
Now you're on my TV screen and I miss you

Don't tell me this is just a dream
I wanna wake up and kiss you
I see you in the magazine (in the magazine)
Now you're on my TV screen and I miss you
I wanna wake up with you
Yeah-eh-eh-eh-eh

Remember all the times that you were running through my mind
Feelings gon' get you
The feelings gonna get you
So time after time I can't keep from lying
That I don't love you
That I don't love you

Can't give it up you make me feel like it was something real
I have something with you
I have something with you
And all I really think about is the time we shared
I'd go with you
I'd go with you (yeah)

Don't tell me this is just a dream (this is just a dream)
I wanna wake up and kiss you (yeah, yeah)
I see you in the magazine (in the magazine)
Now you're on my TV screen and I miss you (yeah, yeah)

Don't tell me this is just a dream (this is just a dream)
I wanna wake up and kiss you (yeah, yeah)
I see you in the magazine (in the magazine)
Now you're on my TV screen and I miss you
I wanna wake up with you

Oh, baby, you know that
Oh, baby, you know that
Oh, baby, you know that
Oh, baby, you know that
Oh, baby, you know that
Oh, baby, you know that
Oh, baby, you know that
Yeah-yeah

All I really think about is times I can't live without you
There was something in that night
And I just can't forget about you
You and me have something going on
Why couldn't we keep on
Keeping on
So don't tell me

Don't tell me this is just a dream (this is just a dream)
I wanna wake up and kiss you (yeah, yeah)
I see you in the magazine (in the magazine)
Now you're on my TV screen and I miss you (yeah, yeah)

Don't tell me this is just a dream
I wanna wake up and kiss you (yeah, yeah)
I see you in the magazine




Now you're on my TV screen and I miss you
I wanna wake up with you
