My Friend The Immigrant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I wait wait wait hoping you pass me by

Should I wait or go? Oh please tell me girl!
Where did I lose my happy way?

But please don′t tell me I would have had a chance!
Because, if you had told me I would have been there
