Lyrics:
Ooh... ooh...*
(Oh, I)
Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh...
(Oh, I)
(I miss you, baby)
(Oh...)
(Oh, I) Oh, I (Oh, I)
(Miss you) I miss you, baby (Miss you)
(Miss you, miss you) I swear I do
(Miss you) Mmm, hmm
Every since you went away
I ain't been doing nothing but
(Thinking, thinking) [x2]
With my head in my hands
(Thinking)

The monologue at the end is everything

[@jesincere8589]

The entire premise of the song's mood starts and ends with legendary Lloyd Parks'(far left) somber tone , a broken hearted man in pure misery. Harold's rap during the middle (remember when I used to take him to ride the pony outside the store) about their small son breaks my heart every time I listen to this record. The composition, Teddy, Harold, Lloyd, Bernie, Larry with TSOP's instrumentation equates to a soul-masterpiece, first of many hits to come for The Blue Notes.
