I Miss You Old Friend Lyrics by Obba Babatundé

Dreamgirls: Original Broadway Cast Album

1982

[C.C.]
Effie, it's been all these years
You haven't even said "hello"
I'm your brother, Effie
Say "hello"
Come on, Effie, you know I'm sorry
I should have come before today
Hold me is all I have to say
[EFFIE]
You've always been the baby
[C.C.]
But I'm trying to change
[EFFIE]
And so am I
[C.C. & EFFIE]
It's taken all these years to be free
[EFFIE]
Of loving that man
[C.C.]
And finding myself
[C.C. & EFFIE]
And getting ahold of the anger in me
[C.C.]
Effie, I have a song and only you can sing it the way it should be
[EFFIE]
I've waited so long to hear you say that to me
Say it again!
Say it again!
[C.C.]
Effie, sing my song the way it should bе
