When a woman loses her only man
And she knows that she′ll never see him again.
She will feel down-low un-huh, lost, bleak and barren
And she will mourn him as only a woman can.
She'll have the missing you blues in the morning when she′s walking down the street.
She′ll have the missing you blues in the evening Lord knows she's feeling downbeat.
She′ll have the missing you blues in the morning can't seem to chase them away.
She′ll have the missing you blues in the evening she'll ask the Lord to show the way.
Now, when a woman is lost in her emptiness
And the darkness won′t vanish just with a wish.
Her anguished heart oh yeah, will understand one day
Her loneliness will someday go away.
She'll have the missing you blues in the morning when she′s walking down the street.
She'll have the missing you blues in the evening Lord knows she′s feeling downbeat.
She'll have the missing you blues in the morning can′t seem to chase them away.
She'll have the missing you blues in the evening she'll ask the Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord Lord, Lord,
To show the way. ′Oh Lord, show me the way′!
