I Wish

Now I could tell by the way she held me (By the way she held me)

She was lookin' for love (She was, she was)

A beautiful woman livin' her life

But how lonely she was (So lone, so lone)

Now I could tell by the way she glanced at me

(I always caught her starin')

She was a little afraid (So scared)

Afraid of expressin' her true feelin's

But her body language always gave it away (Gave it away)

I wish I could be the man she ran to (The man she ran to)

I wish I could be the man she yearned for (She yearns for)

I wish I could be the man she dreamt of (I wish, I wish, yeah)

I wish I could be the one (Be the one)

And I could tell by the conversations, oh

She was willing to grow (She was willin' to grow)

Take the time out to learn some things (I show my)

And I'd take the time out to show

And I could tell by the long goodbyes

See, she never really wanted to leave me

(She never really wanted to leave me)

I could tell you a lot of things (Lot of things) I think I know, yeah (I know)

But I won't be sure till she tells me (Tells me)

(If only) She'd give in and give herself to me

(I wish) These visions weren't (I wish) make believe

(If only) If only I had a chance, yeah

I wish to simply (I wish) help her stay

(If only) If only we were (If only) more than friends, yeah

(I wish) I'd wish to make the baby makin' (I wish) achin' end

(Oh, I wish) Oh, yeah, (I wish) yeah, yeah (I wish)

I wish I could be the man she ran to (I wish)

(Oh, I wish) I wish I could be the man she yearned for (She yearned for only me)

I wish I could be the man she dreamt of (In my dreams, you run to me)

I wish I could be the one (Be the one, the only one)

Be the one

Be the one

Be the one
