Oh, I've been away so long
From the place where I belong
From the love that sees me through
Ooh, how I'm missing you
Looking at the people walking
I double take 'cause I thought I saw you
But it's just my mind, it's messing with me
A mirage in this desert of loneliness
A job to do, that's what I'm here for
Hard work never hurt anyone
Still, I wish I weren't so far away
From the only thing that I am working for
Do you understand?
(Do you understand?)
This is really what I'm going through
Baby, I'm your man
(Baby, I'm your man)
And I do what I must do
Oh, I've been away so long
From the place where I belong
From the love that sees me through
Oh, baby, how I'm missing you
Just as my luck would have it
Held over for another day
And the nights grow cold, it's harder to sleep
With a vision of you running deep
A second-guessing of my purpose
Does the end justify the means?
It was all so clear home with you
Back to where you keep it straight for me
Do you understand?
(Do you understand?)
This is really what I'm going through
Baby, I'm your man
(Baby, I'm your man)
And I do what I must do
For me and you
I've been away so long
From the place where I belong
From the love that sees me through
Oh, baby, how I'm missing you
I really do
I'm missing you
Oh
Oh, I've been away so long
From the place where I belong
From the love that sees me through
Ooh, how I'm missing you
Oh, I've been away so long
From the place where I belong
From the love that sees me through
Oh, baby, how I'm missing you
Oh, I've been away so long
(I'm missing you)
From the place where I belong
From the love that sees me through
Oh, baby, how I'm missing you
