Lyrics

When they call your name,

will you walk right up

with a smile on your face?

Will you cow er in fear

in your fa v’rite sweat er

with an old love let ter?

I wish you would,

I wish you would

come pick me up,

take me out,

f**k me up,

steal (Bb)my rec ords,

screw all my friends;

they’re all full of sh**...

with a smile on your face,

and then do it a gain.

I wish you would.

When you’re walk ing down town,

do you wish I was there?

Do you wish it was me?

With the win dows clear,

in the man ne quins’ eyes,

do they all look like mine?

You know you could,

I wish you would

come pick me up,

I wish you’d make (Bb)up my bed

so I could make (Bb)up my mind,

try it for sleep (Bb)ing in stead.

May be you’ll rest (Bb)some time;

I wish I could.

(Cm7)I wish (Gm)I could.

I wish I could.
