Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I waited sitting by the phone
time wasted
Thinking bout you baby
Where have you been lately
Boy you drive me crazy
Tell me that you need me (tell me that you need me)
Tell me what I wanna hear (tell me what I wanna hear)
Right before your leave me (Right before you leave me)
Tell me why you're hurting me (tell me why you're hurting me)
Like you never loved me (like you never loved me)
Cliche I know but
This is how it goes
You know someday you'll go
Baby tell me where'd you go
People thought we're gross
They were friends and now they're foes
But that's just how it goes
That's just how it goes
So
Tell me that you miss me
I need to know you miss me
Tell me that you miss me
Even though you don't miss me
I want to feel important
I need to feel wanted
Tell me that you miss me
Even though you don't miss me
Take me back to those old days
When everything was okay
I used to be your one and only
Now you acting like you don't know me
I keep my phone right by my side
Waiting on that call
All pictures and videos
Posted on my wall
I'm trynna hold on
Gotta hold on to what's left
I don't wanna move on
But it's heavy on my chest
So
Tell me you don't wanna go (tell me you don't wanna go)
Tell me that you need me (tell me that you need me)
Tell me what I wanna hear (tell me what I wanna hear)
Right before you leave me (right before you leave me)
Tell me why you hurting me (tell me why your hurting me)
Like you never loved me (like you never loved me)
Cliche I know but
This is how it goes
You know someday you'll go
Baby tell me where'd you go
People thought we're gross
They were friends and now they're foes
But that's just how it goes
That's just how it goes
So
Tell me that you miss me
I need to know you miss me
Tell me that you miss me
Even though you don't miss me
I want to feel important
I need to feel wanted
Tell me that you miss me
Even though you don't miss me
Babyyyyy
Can you tell me that you miss me
Tell me that you miss me
I need to know you miss me
Even though you don't miss me
The song "Miss Me" by Toni Romiti is about a relationship that is falling apart. The singer is waiting for her partner to come back home and is desperate to get answers about where he has been. She is frustrated that he is not giving her the attention she needs and that he is treating her as if she were not important to him. The song implies that he has been unfaithful and that their relationship is in jeopardy.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "tell me that you miss me" over and over again. The singer is asking her partner to give her some indication that he still cares for her, even if he doesn't feel it deep down. She wants to feel important and wanted, but she knows that their relationship is in trouble.
The song is ultimately about the difficulties of maintaining a relationship and the pain that comes with being left behind. It is a powerful ballad that speaks to the emotions of anyone who has ever been in a difficult relationship.
