I Wish
Gabrielle (UK) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't know what you do to me
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
I often watch you
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.....
