Oh God I Wish I Was Home Tonight - Rod Stewart

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.
