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
