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
