So you finally came right out and said it girl What took you so long It was in your eyes, that look's been there for too long I'm waiting in line Would you say if I was wasting my time Did I miss again I think I missed again, oh I think about it from time to time When I'm lonely and on my own I try to forget and yet, still rush to the telephone I'm waiting in line Would you say if I was wasting my time Or did I miss again I think I missed again, oh Oh, I missed again, oh I think I missed again, oh Well it feels like something you want so bad Then you think you've got it, but it's something you already had And you can feel it all around you, but it's something you just can't touch Oh And I feel it coming at me Yes, I can feel it coming at me Oh, did I miss again I think I missed again, oh Oh, I missed again, oh I think I missed again, oh Seems I'm waiting in line, but would you say if I was wasting my time Did I miss again I think I missed again, oh Oh, I missed again, oh I think I missed again, oh Oh, did I miss again, oh I think I missed again, oh Oh, I missed again, oh I think I missed again, oh
