Oh God I Wish I Was Home Tonight

The rain poured down the wind-swept Avenue
On another dark wet December-afternoon.
AII my cherished memories are of you
AII my warmth and comfort stayed with you.
I would have wrote you a letter
But the telephone calls are free
'cos 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.
But 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 you’re 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.
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 embarassed 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
'cos I want to see you so badly I just may die.
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 toniclht.
I’ve been hearing voices out on the street
They say you’ve found someone else who’s really quite near.
Bet he doesn’t love you like I do tell me what I wanna hear
That it just ain’t true.
