My love is in America And I miss him tonight So much so I feel like taking the money we've saved And catching the flight And catching the flight The children are sleeping well And I'm on my own Even though I've read his letters Again and again, I'm alone, I'm all alone But the money I've sent home is barely enough There's an ocean that keeps us apart I've been lonely from home, but I mustn't give up What about this aching heart? Johnny come home, I need you tonight I need you tonight My love is in America But it's hard to go out Just because certain asumptions are made When your man's not about When your man's not about My love is in America And I'm not so sure Maybe I rather him here in my arms And us to be poor And us to be poor Still the money I send home Is barely enough There's an ocean that keeps us apart I've been aching for home But I mustn't give up What about this aching heart? Johnny come home, I need you tonight I need you tonight (I need you tonight) Johhny come home, I need you tonight I need you tonight (I need you tonight) Johnny come home, I need you tonight I need you tonight (I need you tonight)
