I Wish Lyrics

Ey, ha ha, make a wish girl
You deserve it
Uh-huh, ha, ha, yeah

Baby, I seen the chick you're with, wish that I never did
Freakin' perfect and five foot ten, just wanna punch her lip, yeah
'Cause I know I've been wasting time tryna 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 da one I want
I don't own any five inch heels, just got my Nike's on
Never thought I was insecure, boy look at what you done (What you done)
I don't know what I studied for, clearly you 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)
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 somethin' 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 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 construed 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
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)

I Wish

Cher Lloyd penned this song with Savan Kotecha, who has co-written many of One Direction's hit singles. It delivers an uplifting message about self-acceptance within a catchy tune. Cher explained to Artist Direct why she wanted to sing about that particular subject matter. "For me, being in this industry can be in tough as it is," she said. "Then, having that pressure to always look and feel your best is probably the hardest bit about it. I honestly feel like it would be crazy to meet someone who could say they're one-hundred percent happy with themselves. I just don't think that exists. I really think it's important for my young fans to understand it doesn't exist."

"You could meet a six foot model who's the most beautiful girl you'll ever see in your life," Lloyd continued, " but I'm pretty sure she'll have some issues she's not quite happy about. This is what it's all about. It's only recently that I've come to terms with that myself. I just turned twenty, and it's time to be like, 'Okay, well I'm not happy about a few things, but I'm not let going to make me unhappy or make me lose sight of what I'm in this for!' If you get what I mean..."

The song features a verse by American rapper T.I. It was premièred on August 31, 2013, and released as a digital download three days later.

The song finds Cher asking a magic genie to grant her wishes to fix her flaws in order to get her crush to notice her. "The message behind the song is basically that I have many insecurities and I just honestly feel like I've never met anyone and will not meet anyone that is not 100 percent happy with themselves," she explained to MTV News. "It's never going to happen, but I think my main message is for you to be able to understand and embrace the fact that nobody's perfect, but to be happy at the same time and not let that overwrite the fact that you need happiness in life and you shouldn't be worrying about that your boobs aren't big enough or your butt is big enough, get on with it."
