[Verse 1]
Oh, I wish I had a boyfriend
I wish I had a loving man in my life
I wish I had a father
And maybe then I would've turned out right
[Pre-Chorus]
But now I'm just crazy
I'm totally mad
Yeah, I'm just crazy
I'm fucked in the head
[Chorus]
And maybe if I really tried with all of my heart
Then I can make a brand new start
In love with you
[Verse 2]
Oh, I wish I had a suntan
I wish I had a pizza and a bottle of wine
I wish I had a beach house
And we could make a big fire every night
[Pre-Chorus]
Instead I'm just crazy
I'm totally mad
Yeah, I'm just crazy
I'm fucked in the head
[Chorus]
And maybe if I really tried with all of my heart
Then I can make a brand new start
In love with you
[Outro]
Come on, come on, come on, Kayla
