[Verse 1]
I've been to London, been to Paris, Australia and Rome
There's sexy boys in every city, but they're not what I want
Some got money, some got fame
Some got cars and the clothes
But if it just ain’t you, then I don't wanna know

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause baby, now I realize that I was wrong
When I said I didn't need you so
Miss you bad, so now I'm coming home
So you better leave the light on
Wait for me and just leave the light on

[Chorus]
It's been like a permanent December
So much colder than I can remember
When I get you back, this time I swear that I won't
Won't ever let you go
Won't let you go, no
Won't let you go, go, go, go
Won't let you go, no
Go, go, go, go - no, no, no, no

[Verse 2]
I've been to New York, been to L.A. and to Baton Rouge
I met a boy in every city, no one kept me amused
But don't call me a Lolita, 'cause I don't let 'em through
'Cause I'm saving all my loving for someone and it's you

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause baby, now I realize that I was wrong
When I said I didn't need you so
Miss you bad, so now I'm coming home
So you better leave the light on
Wait for me and just leave the light on

[Chorus]
It's been like a permanent December
So much colder than I can remember
When I get you back, this time I swear that I won't
Won't ever let you go
Won't let you go, no
Won't let you go, go, go, go
Won't let you go, no
Go, go, go, go - no, no, no, no

[Bridge]
Hey, what do you say?
'Cause I been all around the world and they just ain’t the same
Hey, what do you say?
Without my baby, I go crazy and I just gotta scream
Ha!

[Breakdown]
Now I realize that I was wrong
When I said I didn't need you so
Miss you bad, so now I'm coming home
So you better leave the light on
Wait for me and just leave the light on

[Chorus]
It's been like a Permanent December
So much colder than I can remember
When I get you back, this time I swear that I won't
Won't ever let you go
Won't let you go, no, won't let you go
It's been like a Permanent December
So much colder than I can remember
When I get you back, this time I swear that I won't
Won't ever let you go
Won't let you go, no
Won't let you go, go, go, go
Won't let you go, no
Go, go, go, go - no, no, no, no
Won't let you go, go, go, go
Won't let you go, no
Go, go, go, go - no, no, no, no

Miley Cyrus

Miley Ray Cyrus (born Destiny Hope Cyrus, November 23rd 1992) is an American singer, songwriter and actress, as well as the daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. She was named Destiny Hope Cyrus at birth but was given the nickname “Smiley” because she was always grinning. The name stuck and she legally changed it in 2008.

Her singing career started simultaneously with her role in the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana, which made her a teen idol. She was featured on the 2006 soundtrack of Hannah Montana. After signing a recording contract with Hollywood Records in 2007, she released Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus. The album served as both the series' soundtrack and Cyrus' debut studio album.

With the 2010 release of Can’t Be Tamed, Cyrus developed a more mature image with a dance-oriented sound. The album caused controversy due to the lyrics and music video of Can’t Be Tamed.
