[Verse 1: Chilli]
I never asked for this feeling
I never thought I would fall
I never knew how I felt
'Till the day you were gone
I was lost

I never asked for red roses
I wasn't looking for love
Somehow I let my emotions take hold
And guess what, all at once
I'm in love

[Chorus]
Oh I miss you so much
I long for your love
It scares me
Cause my heart gets so weak
That I can't even breathe
How can you take things so easily?
Baby, why aren't you missing me?

[Verse 2: Chilli]
Why did I act like you mattered
It was silly of me to believe
That if I just open my heart
Things would come naturally
Jokes on me, yeah

I did not ask for love letters
So why did you give them to me? (to me)
How could I let your intentions
Get over on me
So in love, so naive, oooh baby

[Chorus]
Oh I miss you so much
I long for your love
It scares me
Cause my heart gets so weak
That I can't even breathe
How can you take things so easily?
Baby, why aren't you missing me?

[Bridge: Chilli]
And oh, how I hate what you have done
Made me fall so deep in love
God knows you're the only one I want
That I love, oh baby

[Chorus]
Oh I miss you so much (Yeah)
I long for your love
It scares me
Cause my heart gets so weak (So weak)
That I can't even breathe (Can't even breathe)
How can you take things so easily?
Baby, why aren't you missing me?
Baby why aren't you missing me?
Oh, baby why aren't you miss, missing me?

TLC is a trio whose musical repertoire spans over R&B, hip-hop, soul, pop, rock, funk, and new jack swing.

Consisting of Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, rapper-singer Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and singer Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, TLC found unprecedented success in the 1990s, not only as a musical group, but also for an extensive series of high profiled spats with the law, each other, and with their record label—all of which helped to solidify them as one of the definitive recording acts to emerge during the aforementioned time span.

The group, which is in fact the highest-selling girl group in America with 65 million records sold, is known for tackling important social issues in their music such as AIDS awareness, violence, domestic abuse, anorexia, bulimia, sexism, racism, and homophobia.
