Baby, Baby, I’m Gonna Miss You by Melodie Yvonne

Baby, baby, I’m gonna miss you
Though I never got to kiss you
Baby, baby, I’m gonna miss you
And I’m hopin’ you’ll miss me too

Fuck my heart, my soul wears Kevlar
Getting’ stuck to you won’t get far
But I feel I need you near me
Oh please god just don’t forget me

I’m confused, and just can’t stand it
I need you to set my brain straight
Needin’ me’s not what you need, though
You need meat not fleshless me bones

Baby, baby, I just miss you
Will I always want to kiss you?
Baby, baby, I still miss you
And I’m hopin you’ll miss me too

Fuck your heart, your soul wears Kevlar
Getting’ stuck to me won’t get far
You’ll sink quick, I’ll have you drownin’
You fall in quicksand I’m bound in

You’re confused, and just can’t stand it
And this life’s not what we planned it
We can’t breathe, just treadin’ water
Trudging through this lifeless fodder

Will we ever find each other?
Or is this all lost forever?
Will he ever come to find me?
All is lost when I’m done binding

Baby, baby, I’ll sure miss you
Maybe in my dreams I’ll kiss you
Baby, I will always miss you
And I’m dreamin you’ll miss me too

Baby, baby, I sure miss you
Maybe in my dreams I’ll kiss you
Baby, baby, I’ll still miss you
In my dreams I’m missin’ you too
