A Wish is a Wish

I always wanted to be in a movie
And I got a role as an extra
I want to see the whole country
And my daddy bought me an atlas
Told my friend I want to be rich
I won monopoly that night
I seem to get everything I want
But I am never satisfied
I didn't specify

That I want to be the starring role on a big screen
I want to drive from Dallas up to Poughkeepsie
I don't want to stay in Friday night 'cause my bank account is low
I have to be clearer with my wishes if I'm gonna get what I wish for

I said I want to be surprised one time on my birthday
I was shocked when they all forgot
I hoped my tired body got a little rest
Then on Monday, I slept through my alarm clock
I was late to work and I wished I wouldn't catch any red lights
Everything was green but there was wreck on 65
I seem to get everything I want
But I'm never satisfied
I didn't specify

That I just wanted to party with some of my closest friends
And on the next Saturday morning I wanted to sleep in
And I didn't want to be late so I needed an open road
I have to be clearer with my wishes if I'm gonna get what I wish for

I wanted to find a love I could love till my love ran out
I fell for someone I couldn't call my own
I craved passion a relationship full of desire
It was dysfunctional
I prayed to God to recognize a love
Then I saw it exit of my life
I didn't specify

That I want to be in love with someone who's in love with me
That I want a crazy relationship that is happy and healthy
The kind of love that I'd see if I was blind on a pitch black night
But I didn't specify
I ain't gonna do that any more
I will be clearer with my wishes 'cause I get what I wish for
