OH GOD, I WISH I WAS HOME TONIGHT (Rod Stewart / Chen, Savigar, Cregan, Grainger, 1980)
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
