I Wish, I Wish

Oh yeah,

I wish I knew, I wish I knew

What makes me, me, and what makes you, you.

It's just another point of view, (ooh)

A state of mind I'm going through, (yes)

So what I see is never true, (ahh)

I wish I could tell, I wish I could tell

What makes a heaven what makes a hell.

And do I get to ring my bell, (ooh)

Or land up in some dusty cell, (no)

While others reach the big hotel, (yeah)

I wish I had, I wish I had

The secret of good, and the secret of bad.

Why does this question drive me mad? (ahh)

'Cause I was taught when but a lad, (yeah)

That bad was good and good was bad, (no)

I wish I knew the mystery of

That thing called hate, and that thing called love.

What makes the in-between so rough? (ahh)

Why is it always push and shove? (ahh)

I guess I just don't know enough, (yeah)

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I wish I knew, I wish I knew,

I wish I knew, I wish I knew

Somebody tell me, somebody tell me

Ohh, ohh
