Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Ey

Make a wish, girl

You deserve it

Uh-huh, yeah

Baby, I've seen the chick you're with, wish that I never did (uh)

Freakin' perfect and five foot ten, just wanna punch her lip (yeah)

'Cause I know I've been wastin' time, tryin' to get your eye (uh)

Yeah, I know that I've been so blind, thinkin' 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, and 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, and 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're the one I want (uh)

I don't own any five-inch heels, just got my Nikes on (yeah)

Never thought I was insecure, boy, look at what you done (what you done)

I don't know what I studied for, clearly I 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, and 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, yeah)

I wish I had style, and 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 some, baby, with the roof gone, baby?

Aston Martin look retarded like the coup gone crazy

I'm not sure what kind of fella you like

But I can get you paradise, have it however you like

I'm talkin' Solitaire iced out, ring, watch, necklace

Ain't no talkin' reckless, girl, I'm certified respected, girl

You like to run your mouth, 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 tryin' to see you naked, girl, wait

There I go exaggerate, clearly carried away

But what I'm sayin', you can true that, I wanna be wherever you at

So you wishin' you can kiss me, do you really want to do that-at?

Make a wish, girl (yeah)

I wish I was tall, and 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, and I wish I had flash (oh yeah)

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, ooh

'Cause if I want you, I gotta have that (come, come, kiss me, boy)
