I'm Just Wishin'
Party.De Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seems everyone I meet
Gives me a friendly hello
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
The birds in every tree
Are all so neighborly
They sing wherever I go
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
If you should ask me the amount
In my bank account
I'd have to confess that I'm slippin'
But that don't worry me, confidentially
I've got a dream that's a pippin'
And when the day is through
Each night I hurry to
A home where love waits, I know
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
And when the day is through
Each night I hurry to
A home where love waits, I know
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
I'm just a lucky, lucky so and so
