Waiting for Charlie to come home
Bring me all the love I need
Waiting for Charlie to come home
Bring me his lips his wild hungry arms
And all of the love that I need
I said a lot of things to him I didn't mean to say
Instead of holding him close to me I drove him far away
Here am I the fool who let happiness walk out the door no
And I don't really believe that he wants to come back to me anymore
And I'm waiting for Charlie to come home
And bring me all the love i need
Waiting for Charlie to come home
Bring me his lips his wild hungry arms
And all of the love that i need
