Like a flower waiting to bloom
Like a lightbulb in a dark room
I'm just sitting 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 sitting 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
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 sitting here waiting for you
To come on home and turn me on, turn me on

I know Norah sings the last word in the first line of the last stanza as 'tune', but the original lyric is 'tube', as in the old-style vacuum tubes. Also, rhymes with 'cube'.
