Lyrics:
I've 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
Some got clothes
But if it just aint you
Then I don't wanna know
Cuz baby now I realize that I was wrong
When I said I didn't need you, soooo
Miss you bad so now I'm comin' home
So you better leave the light on
Wait for me and just leave the light on, heyyy
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
Won't let you go go go go
Won't let you go, no
Go go go go, no no no no
I've 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
Cuz I don't let 'em through
Cuz I'm saving all my lovin'
For someone and it's you
Cuz baby now I realize that I was wrong
When I said I didn't need you, soooo
Miss you bad so now I'm comin' home
So you better leave the light on
Wait for me and just leave the light on, heyyy
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
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?
Cuz I been all around the world
And they just aint the same
Hey!

Without my baby
I go crazy
And I just gotta scream
But now I realize that I was wrong
When I said I didn't need you, soooo
Miss you bad so now I'm comin' home
So you better leave the light on
Wait for me and just leave the light on, oh oh!
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
Won't let you go go go go
Won't let you - -
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
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
