Tina Turner had the #1 song the week of September 1, 1984, with ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It?‘ It was her first and only solo #1, and spent three weeks atop the Hot 100.
That week, the second spot was held by English singer-songwriter John Waite with his soft rock balled ‘Missing You.’ Waite would eventually replace Turner at #1, topping the chart for a single week. ‘Missing You’ was the only song in that great music year to spend only one week at #1.
Turner would cover this song 12 years later for her album Wildest Dreams.
Whenever I hear this song, I think of a story my sister told me about a friend of hers who insisted the singer was over his ex because, after all, he insists that he “ain’t missing [her] at all” throughout.
Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I’m still standing here
And you’re miles away
And I’m wondering why you left
[Verse 2]
And there’s a storm that’s raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time
Thinking about you
And it’s almost driving me wild
[Pre-Chorus]
And there’s a heart that’s breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
[Chorus]
I ain’t missing you at all
(Missing you, missing you)
Since you’ve been gone away
(Missing you, missing you)
I ain’t missing you
(Missing you, missing you)
No matter what I might say
(Missing you, missing you)
[Verse 3]
There’s a message in the wire
And I’m sending you this signal tonight
You don’t know
How desperate I’ve become
And it looks like I’m losing this fight
In your world
I have no meaning
Though I’m trying hard to understand
[Pre-Chorus]
And it’s my heart that’s breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
[Chorus]
I ain’t missing you at all
(Missing you, missing you)
Since you’ve been gone away
(Missing you, missing you)
I ain’t missing you
(Missing you, missing you)
No matter what my friends say
(Missing you, missing you)
[Bridge]
And there’s a message that I’m sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can’t bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload
[Chorus]
I ain’t missing you at all
(Missing you, missing you)
Since you’ve been gone away
(Missing you, missing you)
I ain’t missing you
(Missing you, missing you)
No matter what my friends say
(Missing you, missing you)
I ain’t missing you
(Missing you, missing you)
I ain’t missing you
(Missing you, missing you)
I keep lying to myself
(Missing you, missing you)
[Pre-Chorus]
And there’s a storm that’s raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
[Chorus]
I ain’t missing you at all
(Missing you, missing you)
Since you’ve been gone away
(Missing you, missing you)
I ain’t missing you
(Missing you, missing you)
No matter what my friends say
[Outro]
Ain’t missing you
(Missing you)
I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
I keep lying to myself
(Missing you)
Ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
Ain’t missing you
Oh no
(Missing you, missing you, missing you)
No matter what my friends might say
I ain’t missing you
(Missing you)
Meet Me In Montauk 
Clearly, Amy’s friend didn’t pay attention to the rest of the lyrics!
I only think of the great Tina Turner singing this song. Didn’t realize someone else did it first 🤷♀️
