Ey
Ha ha
Make a wish girl
You deserve it (uh huh)
Yeah

Baby, I seen the chick you're with
Wish that I never did
Uh freakin' perfect and five foot ten
Just wanna punch her lip, yeah
'Cause I know I've been wasting time
Trying to catch your eye, uh
Yeah I know that I been so blind
Thinking that I'm your type

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

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)

Uh-huh, yeah

Baby, I'm gonna keep it real
Boy you're the one I want
Uh, I don't own any five inch heels
Just got my Nikes on
Yeah, never thought I was insecure
Boy look at what you done (what you done)
I don't know what I studied for
Clearly I like 'em dumb

And now I'm at home I'm all alone
'Bout to pick up the telephone
Got to call my genie so he knows, (so he knows)

Yeah

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)(Yeah)
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)

Hey, now don't you wanna do some, baby
With the roof gone, baby
Aston Martin look retarded like the coup gone crazy
I'm not sure what kinda fella you like
But I can give you paradise, have it however you like
I'm talking solitaire iced out, ring, watch, necklace
Ain't no talking reckless, girl, I'm certified respected, girl
Yeah, you like to run your mouth, well you're about to learn a lesson, girl
Yeah, you the one but I'll replace you in a second, girl
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 could true that
I wanna be wherever you at
So you wishing you could kiss me
Do you really wanna do that, eh?
Make a wish, girl

Yeah

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 (oh, yeah)
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)

Overall Meaning

In Cher Lloyd's song β€œI Wish," she expresses her desire for a boy who she thinks is out of her league. In the first verse, she describes the girl he's currently with as "freakin' perfect" and the kind of girl she wants to punch in the lip. She is frustrated because she's been trying to catch his attention and thinks she's been wasting her time because she is not what he typically goes for.


In the chorus, Cher sings about her wishes. She wishes she was taller, faster, had more money, style, and a bigger butt and chest. All of these things represent what she believes the boy she wants is attracted to. She believes that if she wants him, she has to have those qualities.


The second verse reveals a bit of Cher's insecurity about herself. She admits that she never thought of herself as insecure before, but after being attracted to this boy, she feels that way. She says that she doesn't own any five-inch heels but only has her Nikes on, which is a representation of how she's more comfortable being herself. She admits to liking "dumb" guys and not knowing what she's studied for.


Overall, Cher is expressing her desire to be someone she is not because she believes that is what the boy she wants is attracted to. She is willing to change aspects of herself that she likes just to try and fit the mold of his type.
