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 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 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 embarrassed I must admit
Tell you the truth my honey
I haven't 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 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 to 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 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
I've been hearing voices out on the street
They say you've found someone 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
