| I been out in the desert |
| I have wandered on through the sands |
| I been burned, I been thirsty |
| I’ve walked with the devil through dangerous lands |
| I have seen with my eyes images I wish I could erase |
| I have danced with lady temptation |
| I’ve felt her fire, I have seen her face |
| Well, I can’t make it, I won’t last another day |
| ‘Cause each day is torture |
| Baby, each day is torture when you’re away |
| I can’t do without you |
| My lover, my partner, my friend |
| And now that you’re gone each moment’s so long |
| I can’t wait till you come back again |
| Oh! I been missing my woman |
| Forty days and forty nights |
| I been missing my woman |
| Forty days and forty nights |
| I have been missing my woman |
| Forty days and forty nights |
| I been missing my woman |
| Forty days and forty nights |
| Earlier today, heard somebody say |
| That he didn’t believe that true love exists anyway |
| And earlier today, oh, heard that same man say |
| That any man is a liar who says he desires |
| To be with one woman the rest of his days |
| Well, I don’t know how the future is going to unfold |
| And I don’t know just how we’re gonna feel when we get old |
| But there’s one thing, baby |
| Honey, one thing I’m certain is true |
| I have tried it out, I can’t do without |
| No, I don’t want to live without you |
| I been missing my woman |
| Forty days and forty nights |
| I been missing my woman |
| Forty days and forty nights |
| I been missing my woman |
| Forty days and forty nights |
| I been missing my woman |
| Forty days and forty nights |
| I been lost out at sea, rocked the boat |
| Felt the sting of the rain |
| I been surrounded by couples |
| I felt loneliness I could never explain |
| I have felt in my heart the flood of despair overtake |
| Not knowing for sure if I could endure |
| Overwhelmed by the value of what was at stake |
| Well, I can’t make it, I won’t last another day |
| ‘Cause each day is torture |
| Baby, each day is torture when you’re away |
| I can’t do without you |
| My lover, my partner, my friend |
| And now that you’re gone each moment’s so long |
| I can’t wait till you come back again |
| I been missing my woman |
| Forty days and forty nights |
| I been missing my woman |
| Forty days and forty nights |
| I have been missing my woman |
| Forty days and forty nights |
| I been missing my woman |
| Forty days and forty nights |
