Lyrics

Something Missing (ca.1978, revised 2025)

I sure said the right thing when I told you there was something missing
I said the wrong thing, you didn’t want to hear about something missing
We can’t go on this way, our minds a million miles away, there’s something missing

Each time I hold you, the way you touch me tells me something’s missing
And when I told you, you didn’t want to learn about what was missing
You’re just not listening. Your mind’s a million miles away
‘Cuz something says your love is missing me

Something’s missing I should have seen it right away
Something’s missing before we throw the night away
Something’s missing I should have told you right away
Something’s missing, and now there’s nothing left to say

I did the right thing when I made you hear what I was saying
You made my heart sing until you told me that your love was fading
Whenever things go wrong you tell me that you don’t belong
There’s something missing, your love is missing me

(solo)

Something’s missing I should have seen it right away
Something’s missing before we throw the night away
Something’s missing I should have told you right away
Something’s missing, and now there’s nothing left to say

There’s something missing (Something’s missing I should have seen it right away)
There’s something missing (before we throw the night away)
There’s something missing (I should have told you right away)
There’s something missing (and now there’s nothing left to say)
