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
