I Wish
Gabrielle (UK) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I find
You knock me off my feet
Sometimes I wish
That we could be alone
Oh how I wish to me
That you belonged
When you're least aware
Even though I know
It's really rude to stare
Sometimes I find
I just can't help myself ohhh
'Cos I want you
want nobody else
My heart skips a beat
Whenever you are near
And I just don't know
What I'm gonna do
Chorus:
Oh how I wish (2x)
That you were here
Oh how I wish
That you were near
Holding me tight
Spending some time
Wish you were mine
My thoughts revealed
I'm showing all the signs
When we're face to face
I can't look in your eyes
Sometimes I find
I just can't help myself
'Cos I want you
Want nobody else
My heart skips a beat
Whenever you are near
And I just don't know
What I'm gonna doooo
Chorus:
Oh how I wish (2x)
That you were here
Oh how I wish
That you were near
Holding me tight
Spending some time
Wish you were mine
Ur mine, ur mine, give me sometime
Wish you were mine.....
My heart skips a beat
Whenever you are near
And I just don't know
What I'm gonna do
Repeat Chorus.....
