Lyrics Oh God, I Wish I Was Home Tonight (Early Version) - Rod Stewart

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, hey

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 embarrassed I must admit
To tell You the truth my honey I haven't a cent but you know what

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 to 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 I ones that I love
Oh God I wish I was home tonight, yeah
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
