I Wish
Bob Ricci Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I don't have to tell her goodbye
Cause breaking up's so hard to do
And if she were dead, well I wouldn't have to
So I wish I wish my girlfriend would die
After much consideration
I've decided to move on
We've been together now for 6 long years
But I can't bring myself to tell her
And that got me to start to think
That I could save her lots of agony
If somehow she were made to be extinct
I wish I wish my girlfriend would die
So I don't have to tell her goodbye
I don't have the heart to tell her
We just don't belong together
So I wish I wish my girlfriend would die
Well it's so hard to say it's over
She seems to care for me so much
Shes trying to tell me that were meant to be
And Im trying to tell her that this sucks
But I said I'd never leave her
And so it seems Im kind of stuck
I guess Im gonna have to wait things out
And hope she gets run over by a truck
I wish I wish my girlfriend would die
So I don't have to tell her goodbye
You said you'd die if
So Im just speeding up the inevitable
I wish I wish my girlfriend would die
People say I have a problem
And my way of thinking is obscene
They say Im anti-confrontational
But I don't even know what the hell that means
But I do know this aint working
And if her death did come about
Shed die happy and then I'd be free
To finally get to ask her sister out
I wish I wish my girlfriend would die
So I don't have to tell her goodbye
Cause breaking ups so hard to do
And if she were dead, well I wouldn't have to
So I wish I wish my girlfriend would die
The song "I Wish" by Bob Ricci is a comedic take on a difficult situation: breaking up with a significant other. The singer talks about how he has been with his girlfriend for 6 years, but he can't bring himself to tell her that they don't belong together. Instead, he wishes that she would die so he doesn't have to deal with the pain of breaking up. He recognizes that it's a terrible thing to think, but he can't help himself. The song is a humorous exaggeration of how hard it can be to end a relationship.
There are several interesting things to note about the song. First and foremost, it was created as a parody of the song "I Wish" by Stevie Wonder. While the original song is about wanting to see the world become a better place, the parody version turns that sentiment on its head. Additionally, the song has gained a cult following thanks to its dark humor and catchy tune. Some fans of the song have even said that it helped them through difficult breakups. Finally, the song has been covered by other musicians, including Raymond and Scum.
