Oh baby
(I wish)
Things I′d like to do
(I wish)
Oh, the things I'd love to say
(I wish)
That you′re around
I might not show it 'cause I can't find words to say
I try to say I love you, but I get tongue-tied
I start to reason word and fail in every way
I wish you would stay longer
Bright up my life like Disney World, woah
I wish you would stay longer
But just like magic, you were gone, woah baby
Must find a way to keep you
Keep you all to myself
Then I′ll retire from staying out to late at night
When we′re alone together, we can build our nerves
If it should be forever, than baby we should get it right
I wish you would stay longer
Bright up my life like Disney World
I wish you would stay longer
But just like magic, you were gone, woah baby
If you go, it'll malfunction all of my program
If you stay, you′ll see the sweet person that I am
While never I'd hurt you
Who could ever let me curse you, hey
I feel as happy as one child, thinking I′ll see you later on, woah
I could not ask for more whenever you're in town
Situation gets serious, I feel my knees beginning to shake
Heart′s beating out of rhythm, glad it's no doctor's case
Must get my act together to lose you would be such a waste
I wish you would stay longer
Bright up my life like Disney World
I wish you would stay longer, girl
But just like magic, you were gone
Oh, I knew you′re gone, woah baby (you′re gone, gone)
I wish you would stay longer, yeah
Bright up my life like Disney World, woah
I wish you would stay longer now
But just like magic, you were gone
Woah, I knew you're gone, aye aye aye aye aye aye
I wish you would stay longer, yes
Bright up my life like Disney World, yes yeah
I wish!
(I wish)
Things I′d like to do
(I wish)
Oh
(I wish)
Oh
(I wish)
