Miss You

The song “Miss You,” a collaboration with rapper Jadakiss, was included as a bonus track on selected editions of Mariah's Charmbracelet album, released in 2002. The track contains elements from the song “I Did It For Love,” by Love Unlimited, which was sampled on Puff Daddy's “It's All About The Benjamins,” released in 1997. “Jermaine Dupri and I got together and, when we were working on all the different songs, we thought it would be cool to use the ‘Benjamins’ loop, because nobody had sung over it yet, 'cause it's not the most melodic track.” Mariah explained. “It's one of my favorites and I love Jadakiss, so I was just happy to work with him.”

Lyrics

Miss You

You know I'm really missing you, baby
You know I'm really missing you, baby
You know I'm really missing you, baby
Baby baby, I miss you

Longing for you everyday
And I reach for you every night
Baby, nothing's been the same
Since the day we said goodbye
And I can't go on
Like this for too long
Baby baby, I miss you

Boy, I need you next to me
And I'm hungering for your touch
Caught up in the memories
And you're all I'm thinking of
'Cause I can't get past
What we used to have
Baby baby, I miss you

I'm talkin' 'bout how I used to like it
When you whispered to me
Tell me that you love me
And those beautiful things
Baby won't you come back
'Cause I'm really in need
I'm lost in your love
And I don't know what to do with myself
I don't wanna be with nobody else
I just think about you, think about us
Think about how much
I miss you

All I do is reminisce
Of the love that we used to share
Can't recover from your kiss
Because nothing else compares
Ain't no substitute
When it comes to you
Baby baby, I miss you

Visions of us hand in hand
Come to me when I close my eyes
Baby, I don't understand
How we let it all slip by
Tell me, can't we try
Maybe one more time
Baby baby, I miss you

I'm talkin' 'bout how I used to like it
When you whispered to me
Tell me that you love me
And those beautiful things
Baby won't you come back
'Cause I'm really in need
I'm lost in your love
And I don't know what to do with myself
I don't wanna be with nobody else
I just think about you, think about us
Think about how much
I miss you

Remember when
Our eyes first met
I knew I'd never be the same again
Why can't it just
Be like it was
Enough is enough
Baby, I miss your love

Jadakiss:
Yo, I remember when I first kicked it to you
We hit it off well, then I used to whisper to you
It was all swell
Said you came from a family with money
Me, I was fresh off the block handling twenties
When I smiled was you open or what
Say you can't judge a book by the cover 'til you open it up
Past hot, we was more like lava, boo
Used to chill and the smoke didn't bother you
Beauty of a rose, scent of a flower
Love when I tell her to get in the shower, hit it for hours
When I thought you was able to cope
That's where things fell apart ma, and it stagnated us both
And now the pain is killing you crazy
When all the time in your mind, you knew I was feeling you crazy
But Kiss is official boo and I'mma come clean
You miss me, well I miss you too, come on

I'm talkin' 'bout how I used to like it
When you whispered to me
Tell me that you love me
And those beautiful things
Baby won't you come back
'Cause I'm really in need
I'm lost in your love
And I don't know what to do with myself
I don't wanna be with nobody else
I just think about you, think about us
Think about how much
I miss you

Repeat
