Sitting here alone with no place to go
Driving nowhere on this lonely road
What am I doing here
When I should be with you?
I wish I knew what to do

I waited for you with the TV on
I needed company and you were gone
This house feels so empty
And our bed is made for two
I'm not so sure what to do

So I'll turn on the light
So when you come home tonight
You will know I am here
And I'm waiting
Trying to clear my mind
I just can't leave you behind
Baby, please take me back
Please, baby

If I could go back in time
I would change all that was said
Darling, I'm coming home tonight
So turn on the light

We all take a risk with the words we say (yeah, baby)
That someone might take it another way
till it goes round and round
And you forget how it began
Walking out the door just to come back again

So I'll turn on the light
So when you come home tonight
You will know I am here
And I'm waiting (baby, I'm waiting)
Trying to clear my mind
I just can't leave you behind
Baby, please take me back
Please, baby

If I could go back in time
I would change all that was said
Darling, I'm coming home tonight
So turn on the light

So I'll turn on the light
So when you come home tonight
You will know I am here
And I'm waiting (oh, I'm waiting, yeah)
Trying to clear my mind
I just can't leave you behind
Baby, please take me back
Please, baby

If I could go back in time
I would change all that was said
Darling, I'm coming home tonight
So turn on the light
So turn on the light
