I've been to London, been to Paris
Australia & Rome
There's sexy boys in every city but they're not what I want

Some got money, some got fame
Some got cars & the clothes
But if it just ain't you then I don't wanna know

'Cause baby, now I realize that I was wrong
When I said I didn't need you so
Miss you bad so now I'm comin' home

So you better leave the light on
Wait for me & just leave the light on, hey

This feels like a permanent December
So much colder than I can remember
When I get you back, this time I swear that I won't
Won't ever let you go, won't let you go, no

I've been to New York & to L.A
& to Baton Rouge
I met a boy in every city
No one kept me amused

But don't call me a Lolita
'Cause I don't let 'em through
'Cause I'm saving all my lovin'
For someone & it's you

Cause baby, now I realize that I was wrong
When I said I didn't need you so
Miss you bad so now I'm comin' home

So you better leave the light on
Wait for me & just leave the light on, hey

This feels like a permanent December
So much colder than I can remember
When I get you back, this time I swear that I won't
Won't ever let you go, won't let you go, no

Hey, what do you say?
'Cause I been all around the world & they just ain't the same

Hey, what do you say?
Without my baby
I go crazy & I just gotta scream

Cause baby, now I realize that I was wrong
When I said I didn't need you so
Miss you bad so now I'm comin' home

So you better leave the light on
Wait for me & just leave the light on, hey

This feels like a permanent December
So much colder than I can remember
When I get you back, this time I swear that I won't
Won't ever let you go, won't let you go, no
