(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
And if you see him
Tell him I miss him
Tell him I feel so bad
For messing up what we had
And if you see him
Tell him I'm sorry
And I regret the day
I let him walk away
And I want to be by his side
And I need his love and pride
And I need him
And if you see him
Tell him I'm begging
I'll do a song and dance
Just for a second chance
And if you see him
Tell him just how I look
The circles underneath my eyes
The make up don't seem to hide
And I stay awake every night
And I pray that he just might walk in
And love me
Walk in and love me
I miss him more than he'll ever know
Tell him he was
My everything
He was more than just a flame
And I need him
I miss him
And if you see him
Tell him my fire
No, it's just won't burn
Till the day that he returns
And I want to be by his side
And I need his love and pride
And if you see him
Tell him I'm begging
