I wish I knew a man Someone to steal me From this sadness
I wish I knew a girl Who'd run her fingers Through my hair and kiss me
Wish, I didn't have to pretend That when I'm talking to the floor I'm talking to you
If I had a friend Then such stupid things I'd never have to do I wish I had a friend
I wish I knew a man One who'd help me Stop disguising my feelings
I wish I knew a girl Who'd keep me from Silencing my heart's voice
Oh, I wish I didn't feel Like an island No country will claim
Wish I had a friend who'd stop me From falling into this depression All over again
I wish I had a friend like that Oh, but I know it will never be So that friend for me Has to come from inside of me My friend will have to be me
I wish I knew a man Someone to help me Stop being self-conscious
I wish I knew a girl One to take away my fear of dying
I wish I weren't afraid that some spirit Will come out of the darkness and carry me away Wish I had a friend whom if that happened Would storm right in and save the day
I wish I had a friend like that Oh, but I know it will never be So that friend for me Has to come from inside of me My friend will have to be me
