The rain poured down the wind swept avenue
|
On another dark wet December afternoon
|
All my cherished memories are of you
|
All my warmth and comfort stayed with you
|
|
I would have wrote you a letter
|
but the telephone calls are free
|
Cause the boys in the next apartment
|
Are working all day
|
They're a great bunch of guys
|
But I think they're all gay
|
What am I doing
|
Avoiding what I'm trying to say
|
|
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
|
With you in my arms
|
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
|
|
Send me a naked picture
|
By the U.S. mail
|
Write a pornographic letter
|
You know I won't tell
|
Keep your legs closed tight
|
keep your body under lock and key
|
Stay home at night
|
And save all the best parts for me
|
|
Yeah baby
|
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
|
Yes I do baby
|
Oh God I wish I was home tonight, oh
|
|
I could be home in time for Christmas
|
If you want me to be
|
There's a plane leaves here at midnight
|
Arriving at three
|
But I'm a bit financially embarrased
|
I must admit
|
To tell you the truth my honey
|
I haven't a cent
|
|
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
|
Tonight baby
|
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
|
|
Guess I'd better ring off
|
Before the boys get home
|
My regards to all your family
|
And everyone at home
|
There's a lump comes in my throat
|
And a tear I can't hide
|
Cause I want to see you so badly
|
I just may die
|
And you know why baby
|
|
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
|
With the ones that I love
|
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
|
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
|
Oh my God I wish I was home tonight
|
Tonight, tonight
|
|
I've been hearing voices
|
Out on the street
|
They say you've found some one else
|
Who's really quite neat
|
But he doesn't move you like I do
|
Tell me what I wanna hear
|
That it just ain't true
|
|

Oh God I, Wish I Was Home Tonight
