I would have wrote you a letter but the telephone calls are free

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

Stay home at night and save all the best parts for me
Yeah baby

I could be home in time for Christmas if you want me to be

Guess I'd better ring off before the boys get home
D Bm A
My regards to all your family and everyone at home

Cause I wanna see you so badly I just may die
And you know why baby

D Bm A
I've been hearing voices out on the street
D Bm A
They say you've found some one else who's really quite neat
Em G D A
But he doesn't move you like I do

Tell me what I wanna hear that it just ain't true
