"Permanent December" Songtext

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 soooo
missed you bad so now I'm coming home
So you'd 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, just gonna swear that I won't,
Won't ever let you go, won't let you go, no-oh.
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 them 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 soooo
missed you bad so now I'm coming home
So you'd better leave the light on (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, just gonna swear that I won't,
Won't ever let you go, won't let you go, no-oh.
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! (hey) What do you say?
Without my baby, I go crazy
And I just gotta scream!

Cause baby now I realize that I was wrong
when I said I didn't need you soooo
missed you bad so now I'm coming home
So you'd better leave the light on
Wait for me and just leave the light on oh oh

It's been like a permanent December,
So much colder than I can remember.
When I get you back, just gonna swear that I won't,
Won't ever let you go, won't let you go, no-oh (won't let you go)
It's been like a permanent December,
So much colder than I can remember.
When I get you back, just gonna swear that I won't,
Won't ever let you go, won't let you go, no-oh. (ohh)

Won't let you go, go, go, go.
Won't let you go, no. (go go go)
Go, go, go, go, no, no, no, no. (no no no)
Won't let you go, go, go, go.
Won't let you go, no. (go go go)
Go, go, go, go, no, no, no, no.
