wishbone
If I had a wishbone, make a wish for you
And all your wishes and your wildest dreams would come true
I’d wish for you a peace and love beyond your wildest dream
I’d wish for you to understand we’re on the same team
If I had another wishbone I would wish for me
Then I’d be all enlightened like the Buddha used to be
Everything I knew I would have mastered for myself
I’d be the poster child for emotional health
But if I had a voodoo doll
Oh, Honey, I’d have a ball
Sending shivers up & down your spine
An arrow through your heart to make you mine
Oh but soon as you were moine I’d be wanting something more
‘Cause love is worth the fighting, not the living for
I’d be running off to chase a dream, change the world
And you’d be left to wonder, “Where’s my wishbone girl?”
Now if I had a yesterday or a tomorrow afternoon
You’d be serenading me a different tune
You could just snap and have me at your fingertips
Take me in your arms, thrill me with your lips
And if we had a time machine, we could travel back in time and sing
With the King or maybe Brother Ray
Tell me now, what’d I say?
If, if, if and only if
You thought my love a precious gift
You’d mount my wishing horse and ride
Never leave this beggar’s side
