It's 5 o'clock
And everybody hurries for the door
While I lay back and hang around some more
They can rush to loved one's waiting home
But I don't wanna rush to be alone

Teasing me, the fellas start a game
Saying I've got nowhere to be
So I just make up a name
Of someone waiting patiently
Someone waiting home for me

It's 10 o'clock
And the girls are wrapped in love
While I'm at home
Wrapped up in my heartache, all alone
Why there's no love for me
I'll never understand
I want no more than any other woman

Tearfully, I get on my knees
And ask if something's in my destiny
Or maybe something in my past
That may be changed so there can be
Someone waiting home for me

In the morning, I drag to my car
Lost in depression
I meet with the neighbor and offer him a ride
And that special light in his smile
Offers back the impression
That love has been right in my backyard
All of the time

And suddenly I know
My silent prayers were heard
And when the guys start in on me
I never breathe a word
That tonight there's gonna be
Someone waiting home for me

Someone waiting home
Someone waiting home
(Someone waiting home)
I'll be waiting
Patiently
For me
Oh, yeah

Someone waiting home
(I'll be waiting)
(Someone waiting home)
(Every day, girl)
For me
(Every day)

Someone waiting home
Someone waiting home
(I love you, baby)
For me
(For you, oh, yeah)

Someone waiting home
Someone waiting home
(I'll be waiting)
(Hey, baby)
(Hey, girl)
For me
