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
