Like a flower waiting to bloom Like a light bulb in a dark room I'm just sittin' here waiting for you To come on home and turn me on Like the desert waiting for the rain Like a school kid waiting for the spring I'm just sittin' here waiting for you To come on home and turn me on My poor heart, it's been so dark Since you've been gone After all, you're the one who turns me off But you're the only one who can turn me back on My hi-fi is waiting for a new tune My glass is waiting for some fresh ice cubes I'm just sittin' here waiting for you To come on home and turn me on, turn me on
