Can We Stay Home Tonight? Songtext / Lyric

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
