I been to London, been to Paris
Australia and Rome
There's sexy boys in every city
But they're not what I want
Some got money, some got fame
Some got cars and 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 a light on
Wait for me and just leave the light on

It's been 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
Won't let you go, go, go, go
Won't let you go, no
Go, go, go, go, no, no, no, no

I been to New York and to L.A
And 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
And 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 a light on
Wait for me and just leave the light on

It's been 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
Won't let you go, go, go, go
Won't let you go, no
Go, go, go, go, no, no, no, no

Won't let you go, go, go, go
Won't let you go, no
Go, go, go, go, no, no, no, no

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

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

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 a light on
Wait for me and just leave the light on

It's been 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
Won't let 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 a light on
Wait for me and just leave the light on, hey

It's been 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
Won't let you go, go, go, go
Won't let you go, no
Go, go, go, go, no, no, no, no

Won't let you go, go, go, go
Won't let you go, no
Go, go, go, go, no, no, no, no
