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
Theyre a great bunch of guys but I think theyre all gay
What am I doing avoiding what Im trying to say, hey
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 wont 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
Theres a plane leaves here at midnight arriving at three
But Im a bit financially embarrassed I must admit
To tell You the truth my honey I havent a cent but you know what
Oh God I wish I was home tonight, tonight baby
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Guess Id better ring off before the boys get home
My regards to all your family and everyone at home
Theres a lump comes to my throat and a tear I cant 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 I ones that I love
Oh God I wish I was home tonight, yeah
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Oh my God I wish I was home tonight, tonight, tonight
Ive been hearing voices out on the street
They say youve found some one else whos really quite neat
But he doesnt move you like I do
Tell me what I wanna hear that it just aint true
