What was I supposed to do?
I turned around with the world and she simply was there
My blood ran like ice right through
She had your face and your lips and your eyes and your hair
You're the wish you are I had
You're the wish you are I had
You're the wish that I had
I wonder if she knows that when I made her up
I made her eat an apple and I made her drink a cup or two
Wish, wish, wish, wish, wish
Wish, wish, wish, wish, wish for you
Who'd believe me if I said
I brought an angel to earth by the power of mind
Think I'm going off my head
She caught the same bus as me and she sat down behind
You're the wish you are I had
You're the wish you are I had
You're the wish that I had
Little did I know that on a rainy day
All the little wishes I had put away would bring you
Wish, wish, wish, wish, wish
Wish, wish, wish, wish, wish for you, yeah
Well, if wishing is bad, bad, bad
Then send me to hell, hell, hell
But if you take my wish away
Then this cold world would burn as well
You're the wish you are I had
You're the wish you are I had
You're the wish that I had
I wonder if she knows that when I made her up
I made her eat an apple and I made her drink a cup or two
Wish, wish, wish, wish, wish
Wish, wish, wish, wish, wish
You're the wish you are I had
You're the wish you are I had
You're the wish that I had
Little did I know that on a rainy day
All the little wishes I had put away would bring you
Wish, wish, wish, wish, wish
Wish, wish, wish, wish, wish for you, ooh
You're the wish you are I had
You're the wish you are I had
You're the wish you are I had
