I Wish Lyrics by Hot Chelle Rae

Whatever

2011

[Verse 1]
If I could wish anything
Close my eyes and count to three
All I want is you, you, you
All I need is you, you, you

You’re like the pot of gold
At the end of the rainbow
All I want is you, you, you
All I need is you, you, you

[Pre Chorus]
And I could give you the world tonight
We could do anything you like
If you weren’t with him

[Chorus]
I wish I knew before I knew
That someone else was loving you
Girl, I wish it could’ve been me
Damn, girl, I wish it could’ve been me

One more thing before you go
I just gotta let you know
Girl, I wish it could’ve been me
Damn, girl, I wish it could’ve been me

[Verse 2]
I like the way you roll
So just let the truth be told
All I want is you, you, you
All I need is you, you, you

Just like a luxury
You’re one of the finest things
All I want is you, you, you
All I need is you, you, you

[Pre Chorus]
And I could give you the world tonight
We could do anything you like
If you weren’t with him

[Chorus]
I wish I knew before I knew
That someone else was loving you
Girl, I wish it could’ve been me
Damn, girl, I wish it could’ve been me

One more thing before you go
I just gotta let you know
Girl, I wish it could’ve been me
Damn, girl, I wish it could’ve been me

[Bridge]
Girl, just think about how it could be now
I could rock your world
Turn it upside down
If you want to, then I want to

Just say the words
And I will sweep you off your feet
Till you can’t stand
And be trapped inside of a bad romance
If you want to, then I want to

Just take a chance

[Chorus]
I wish I knew before I knew
That someone else was loving you
Girl, I wish it could’ve been me
Damn
(I wish)
I wish I knew before I knew
That someone else was loving you
Girl, I wish it could’ve been me
(Wish it could've been me)
Damn, girl, I wish it could’ve been me
(Wish it could've been me)

One more thing before you go
I just gotta let you know
Girl, I wish it could’ve been me
Damn, girl, I wish it could’ve been me

[Outro]
I wish, I wish
(Oh, oh, oh)
I wish, I wish
(Oh, oh, oh)
I wish, I wish
(Oh, oh, oh)
I wish, I wish
(Oh, oh, oh)
I wish, I wish
(Oh, oh, oh)
I wish, I wish
(Oh, oh, oh)
I wish, I wish
(Oh, oh, oh)
Girl, I wish it could’ve been me
