(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
