Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Like a flower waiting to bloom
Like a light bulb in a dark room
I'm here waiting for you to come on home
And turn me on
[Verse 2]
Like the desert waiting for rain
Like a school kid waiting for spring
I'm sitting here waiting for you to come on back home
And turn me on
[Verse 3]
My poor heart, it's been so dark
Since you've been gone
After all, you're the one that turned me off
Now you're the only one that can turn me back on
[Verse 4]
My hi-fi's waiting for a new tune
And my glass is waiting for some fresh ice cubes
I'm just sitting here waiting for you to come home
And turn me on
