Oh God Lyrics - Singles - Rod Steward

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.
