Denise LaSalle - "Why Am I Missing You"

Denise said that she had to put her man out because he just up and went crazy!  He was running around with other women, staying out late, and all that.  One day she got tired, packed his things, and told him that she didn’t need anyone to help make her bad - she could do bad all by herself.  Now she’s wondering if she’s going crazy because it gets lonely in the middle of the night.  No Denise, don't go back!! Listen till the end of the song as she talks about her conversations with Willie Clayton, Johnnie Taylor, Latimore, and Tyrone Davis!!

Chorus
Why am I missing you
Why am I missing you
Why am I missing you
Why am I missing you

When you first left I thought I would be alright
But now that you’re gone I find I can’t sleep at night
Clinging hard to a pillow soaking wet with tears
Missing all the sweet things you haven’t done for me in years

Chorus

You go out at night coming in at two and three
You’re either drunk or too tired, you couldn’t make love to me
You ran around with other women and I know it’s true
So why in the hell am I missing all the things you didn’t do

Chorus

You didn’t give me no money, you didn’t have none of your own
You didn’t give me no time, that’s why I was left all alone
You didn’t give me no respect, you didn’t have none for yourself
You sure didn’t give me no lovin’, you didn’t have a damn thing left

Chorus
So why in the hell am I missing all the things you didn't do?
