Oh God, I Wish I Was Home Tonight Lyrics

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
