Let’s get into one of The Rolling Stones’ greatest songs: “Miss You.” The Stones were in Toronto, rehearsing for their classic gigs at the El Mocambo Club, when Jagger, jamming with R&B legend Billy Preston, came up with “Miss You.” With a disco groove and a touch of the blues via a harmonica player they found in a Paris subway, it became the band’s first Number One hit in five years. “It’s not really about a girl,” Jagger said. “The feeling of longing is what the song is.”
Writers: Mick Jagger (pictured below), Keith Richards. Producers: The Glimmer Twins. Released: May ’78, Rolling Stones. The song Spent 20 weeks at No. 1 which is quite the achievement.

I’ve been holding out so long
I’ve been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
I’ve been hanging on the phone
I’ve been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Ooooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Ooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
Well, I’ve been haunted in my sleep
You’ve been staring in my dreams
Lord I miss you.
I’ve been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
It’s just some friends of mine that say,
“Hey, what’s the matter man?
We’re gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin’ to meet you
We’re gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, let’s go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to”
[12″ version:]
You’ve been strung up for her too long,
You know – girls will come and go –
They’re just like streetcars…
I’ve been staying here too long,
Sometimes I feel so
Abandoned…
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Oh everybody waits so long
Oh baby why you wait so long
Won’t you come on! Come on!
I’ve been walking Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I’m crazy
I’ve been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
People ask me, “What’s the matter with you boy?”
Sometimes I want to say to myself
Sometimes I say
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Ooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
I won’t miss you child
I guess I’m lying to myself
It’s just you and no one else
Lord I won’t miss you child
You’ve been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time
No, I won’t miss you, baby, yeah
Lord, I miss you child
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Lord, I miss you child
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Lord, I miss you child
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
