I've been holding out so long I've been sleeping all alone Lord, I miss you I've been hanging on the phone I've been sleeping all alone I want to kiss you Well, I've been haunted in my sleep You've been starring in my dreams Lord, I miss you I've been waiting in the hall Been waiting on your call When the phone rings It's just some friends of mine, that say Hey, what's the matter, man? We're gonna come around at twelve With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you We're gonna bring a case of wine Hey, let's go mess and fool around You know, like we used to Oh, everybody waits so long Oh, baby, why you wait so long? Won't you come on? Come on! I've been walking in Central Park Singing after dark People think I'm crazy I've been stumbling on my feet Shuffling through the street Asking people: What's the matter with you, boy? Sometimes, I want to say to myself Sometimes, I say I won't miss you, child I guess I'm lying to myself It's just you and no one else Lord, I won't miss you, child You've been blotting out my mind Fooling on my time No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah Lord, I miss you, child Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah Aah, aah, aah, aah Lord, I miss you, child Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah Aah, aah, aah, aah Lord, I miss youn child Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah Aah, aah, aah, aah

"Miss You" foi escrita por Mick Jagger enquanto improvisava com o tecladista Billy Preston durante os ensaios para os shows no El Mocambo em março de 1977, embora Keith Richards seja creditado como coautor.
A faixa marcou a primeira vez que um single dos Rolling Stones exibiu influências disco proeminentes, destacando a batida "four‑on‑the‑floor" de Charlie Watts e o baixo funky de Bill Wyman.
O vocal de Jagger na música é cantado em falsete brincalhão, complementado por um coro de backing vocals de tom onírico e levemente camp, que forma o hook principal da canção.
Na gravação participaram músicos de estúdio, como o harmonicista Sugar Blue, o tecladista Ian McLagan (piano elétrico quase imperceptível na mix) e o saxofonista Mel Collins, cujos solos brilham no trecho instrumental.
Embora a canção apresente raps nas estrofes que lembram o hip‑hop, ela foi lançada antes que o gênero fosse reconhecido como uma categoria musical distinta.
