I Wish
Cher Lloyd T.I. Lyrics

Ey
Exclamation to get attention

Ha ha
Laughing sound

Make a wish girl
Encouraging the girl to make a wish

You deserve it (uh huh)
The girl deserves to have her wish come true

Yeah
Confirming agreement

Baby, I seen the chick you're with
Referring to the girl's current partner

Wish that I never did
Regretting seeing the girl's current partner

Uh freakin' perfect and five foot ten
Describing the girl's current partner as flawless

Just wanna punch her lip, yeah
Feeling jealous and angry towards the girl's current partner

'Cause I know I've been wasting time
Realizing that the attention given to the girl was not reciprocated

Trying to catch your eye, uh
Making attempts to get the girl's attention

Yeah I know that I been so blind
Realizing the foolishness of one's actions

Thinking that I'm your type
Assuming that the girl would be attracted to oneself

And now I'm at home, I'm all alone
Being isolated at home

'Bout to pick up the telephone
Getting ready to make a phone call

Got to call my genie so he knows, yeah
Contacting a genie to grant the wish

I wish I was tall, I wish I was fast
Expressing desire to have certain physical traits

Wish I could shop with a bag full of cash
Desiring to have money to spend

'Cause if I want you, I gotta have that
Believing that having certain attributes would attract the girl

(Come, come kiss me boy)
Desiring physical affection from the boy

I wish I had style, I wish I had flash
Desiring to have fashion sense and overall charisma

Wish I woke up with a butt and a rack
Desiring to have a curvaceous figure

Baby, I'm gonna keep it real
Being honest with the boy

Boy you're the one I want
Admitting to wanting the boy's attention

Uh, I don't own any five inch heels
Not conforming to societal beauty standards

Just got my Nikes on
Preferring comfort over fashion

Yeah, never thought I was insecure
Believing oneself to be confident

Boy look at what you done (what you done)
Realizing that the boy has made the girl feel insecure

I don't know what I studied for
Realizing that the girl has misplaced priorities

Clearly I like 'em dumb
Preferring simple-minded people

And now I'm at home I'm all alone,
Being isolated at home

'Bout to pick up the telephone
Getting ready to make a phone call

Got to call my genie so he knows, (so he knows)
Contacting a genie to grant the wish

Hey, now don't you wanna do some, baby,
Suggesting something to the boy

With the roof gone, baby
Referring to rooftops in cars

Aston Martin look retarded like the coup gone crazy
Referring to a car brand and how it looks impressive

I'm not sure what kinda fella you like
Uncertain of the boy's preferences

But I can give you paradise, have it however you like
Promising to give the boy everything he wants

I'm talking solitaire iced out, ring, watch, necklace
Referring to expensive jewelry

Ain't no talking reckless, girl, I'm certified respected, girl
Claiming to be trustworthy and respected

Yeah, you like to run your mouth, well you're about to learn a lesson, girl
Threatening the girl to not speak out of turn

Yeah, you the one but I'll replace you in a second, girl
Being unfaithful and willing to leave the current partner

And I ain't even trying to see you naked, girl
Not interested in the girl's body

Wait, there I go exaggerate
Admitting to exaggeration

Clearly carried away, but what I'm saying you could true that
Acknowledging the over-the-top statements but stating they are plausible

I wanna be wherever you at
Desiring the boy's attention

So you wishing you could kiss me
Believing the boy wants to kiss the girl

Do you really wanna do that, eh?
Asking if the boy actually wants to kiss the girl

I wish I had, I wish I had, I wish I had yeah yeah
Reiterating the desire for certain attributes
