Permanent December

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 and 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 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, go

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, been 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 loving 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 coming home

So you better leave the 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, go

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've 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 coming home

So you better leave a light on

Wait for me and just leave a 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, go

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, go

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

Won't let you go, no

Go, go, go, go, no, no, no, no
