I Wish
Cher Lloyd & T.I Lyrics

Ey, ha ha, make a wish girl You deserve it Uh-huh, ha, ha, yeah
Encouraging the listener to make a wish because they deserve it.

Baby, I seen the chick you're with, wish that I never did Freakin' perfect and five foot ten, just wanna punch her lip, yeah 'Cause I know I've been wasting time tryna catch your eye, uh Yeah I know that I been so blind thinking that I'm your type
Expressing frustration and regret over trying to impress someone who is with someone else and feeling inferior because of the physical attributes of that person.

And now I'm at home, I'm all alone 'Bout to pick up the telephone Got to call my genie so he knows, yeah
Deciding to make a wish and calling on a genie to grant it, feeling alone and unsure of oneself.

I wish I was tall, I wish I was fast Wish I could shop with a bag full of cash 'Cause If I want you, I gotta have that (Come, come kiss me boy) I wish I had style, I wish I had flash Wish I woke up with a butt and a rack 'Cause If I want you, I gotta have that (Come, come kiss me boy)
Listing various physical attributes that the person wishes for in order to feel more attractive to the desired person.

Uh-huh, yeah baby, I'm gonna keep it real, boy you da one I want I don't own any five inch heels, just got my Nike's on Never thought I was insecure, boy look at what you done (What you done) I don't know what I studied for, clearly you like 'em dumb
Admitting to liking the desired person and feeling insecure about physical appearance, which is the result of the desired person's preferences.

Hey, now don't you wanna do somethin' baby, With the roof gone, baby Aston Martin look retarded like the coup gone crazy
Offering excitement and adventure to the desired person by suggesting a wild ride in a luxury car.

I wish I was tall, I wish I was fast Wish I could shop with a bag full of cash 'Cause If I want you, I gotta have that (Come, come kiss me boy) I wish I had style, I wish I had flash Wish I woke up with a butt and a rack 'Cause If I want you, I gotta have that (Come, come kiss me boy)
Repeating the wish for physical attributes to feel more attractive to the desired person.

And I ain't even trying to see you naked, girl wait There I go exaggerate Clearly carried away but what I'm saying you construed that I wanna be wherever you at So you wishing you could kiss me do you really wanna do that, eh?
Clarifying that the desire for physical attributes is not only about physical attraction, but also about being with the desired person and offering a playful dare to kiss them.

I wish I was tall, I wish I was fast Wish I could shop with a bag full of cash 'Cause If I want you, I gotta have that (Come, come kiss me boy) I wish I had style, I wish I had flash Wish I woke up with a butt and a rack 'Cause If I want you, I gotta have that (Come, come kiss me boy) I wish I was tall 'Cause If I want you, I gotta have that (Come, come kiss me boy) I wish I had, I wish I had, I wish I had yeah yeah 'Cause If I want you, I gotta have that (Come, come kiss me boy)
Repeating the chorus and emphasizing the importance of physical attributes to feel worthy of the desired person's attention.
