[Verse 1]
I'm not in love
It's just some kind of thing I'm going through
Going through, going through
And it's not infatuation
Ain't nothing going on 'tween me and you
Me and you, me and you

[Pre-Chorus]
But I dream about it every night, baby
Wanting you here with me
Making love to me
And oh...

[Chorus]
I'm missing you like crazy
Body and soul is aching
I'm out of control
Missing you so
I'm missing you
Missing you
Missing you, oh
I'm missing you
I'm missing you
Missing you

[Verse 2]
I'm not in love
And that's what I just keep telling myself
Over and over again
And I'm not the least bit amused by you, baby
Yet still I just don't wanna be with nobody else
No, no, no

[Pre-Chorus]
And I dream about you all the time
Touching and kissing me
And making love to me, and oh

[Chorus]
I'm missing you like crazy
(I miss you like crazy)
Body and soul is aching
I'm out of control
Missing you so
Oh, I am missing you so

[Bridge]
God knows I'm trying to keep out of my head
I ain't trying, no no no
I ain't trying to get hurt again, no
But there's something that just gets in my skin
And all I know is I can't let go
And that's the way it is, oh

[Chorus]
I'm missing you like crazy
(I'm missing you like crazy)
Body and soul is aching
I'm out of control
Missing you so
Oh, I...
Missing you
Trying to go somewhere
Missing you
Missing you
I'm missing you
Oh, oh
Missing you
I'm missing you, oh, oh

Mary Jane Blige (b. Jan 11 1971) grew up in the projects of Yonkers, New York. A random decision to record a cover of “Caught Up in the Rapture” by Anita Baker in a pop-up recording booth at a mall led MJB to getting signed by Uptown Entertainment. After providing background vocals on Father MC’s hit single “I’ll Do 4 U” in 1990, a young intern at Uptown named Sean “Puffy” Combs ended up executive producing Mary’s 1992 debut album What’s The 411?. Fusing hip-hop beats with Mary’s soulful voice earned her the nickname “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul”.

She followed up her debut with a string of critically acclaimed albums, including 1994’s My Life and 1997’s Share My World, as well as hit singles such as “Not Gon' Cry,” “Family Affair,” “Be Without You,” and “Just Fine.”

She also collaborated with rappers on a number of tracks, including Jay-Z’s “Can’t Knock the Hustle,” Ghostface Killah’s “All That I Got is You,” Wyclef’s “911,” Common’s “Come Close,” and Method Man’s “I’ll Be There for You/All I Need to Get By,” which was a platinum hit and won the two of them a Grammy Award in 1996 for Best Rap Performance By a Duo or Group.
