"Wish I Didn't Miss You" is a song by American recording artist Angie Stone. It was written by Andrea Martin and Ivan Matias for Stone's second studio album, Mahogany Soul (2001), while production was helmed by Martin, Matias, Stone and Swizz Beatz. The song features an interpolated composition of The O'Jays's 1972 record "Back Stabbers" as written by Leon Huff, Gene McFadden, and John Whitehead.
Critical reception
Jose F. Promis from Allmusic wrote that Mahogany Soul's "true gem is the smoldering, gorgeous, aching "Wish I Didn't Miss You," which pulls forward with an unstoppable beat and features a stellar, yearning performance from Miss Stone." Similarly, Barry Walters from Rolling Stone declared it the album's "knockout track". Spin magazine ranked the song among the 20 best singles of 2002 and wrote: "If Angie were skinny, Whitney would be unnecessary and Mary J. would worried. Sad but true".
Chart performance
Remixed by Hex Hector and Mac Quayle, "Wish I Didn't Miss You" became a successful club hit and gay anthem. It was the last song ever played at Space nightclub in Ibiza on 3rd October 2016. It was played by Carl Cox.

Oh yeah
ResponderEliminarSame old story is back again
She's not a lover, she's just a friend
I'm sick and tired for you to blame on me
Now you think it's funny
Now you want to spend your money on girls
But you forgot when you were down
That I was around
Call my lover, hang up, call again
What in the world is happening
Listen in, but don't yell at me
Isn't it ironic all you want to do is smoke chronic
Boy, you forgot when you were down
Who was around
I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
Waiting for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore
Memories don't live like people do
I'm sick for ever believing you
Wish you'd bring back the man I knew
Was good to me, oh Lord
Every time you say you're coming
Boy, you disappoint me, honey
How well…
Memories don't live like people do
I'm sick for ever believing you
Wish you'd bring back the man I knew
Was good to me, oh Lord
Every time you say you're coming
Boy, you disappoint me, honey
How well you forgot when you were down
And I was around
I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
Waiting for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore
I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
Waiting for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore
One of these days, it's gonna happen to you
Missing a love like I'm missing you, babe yeah yeah
One of these days, when your dreams come true
That's the one that's gonna do it to you
Oh oh oh, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
Waiting for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore
I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
Waiting for love to walk through the door

Waiting for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore
