Lirik Lagu One Wish - Ray J Lengkap dengan Maknanya

[Skit]
Can I talk to you for a minute? (Ooh)
You know, I be thinkin' to myself
We had a lot of good times together (Come on, baby, come on, darlin', come here, darlin')
We did everything together
Yeah, we would wake up early in the mornin' (All I need, all I need, all I need is a chance to make it right)
And just get in the car and just ride on out (Just one chance)
Remember that? (All I need, all I need is just one wish)
Used to watch the sunrise (One wish, one wish)
Used to watch the sunset (All I need, all I need, all I need is a chance to make it right)
We was everything to each other, you know? (Just one chance)
(All I need, all I need, is just one wish) Damn, I miss those days
(One wish, one wish, one wish)
(All I need, all I need, all I need is a chance to make it right)
If I could just, if I could just hold you in my arms, you know what I mean? (All I need, all I need, is just one wish, one wish)
It just feels so good (One wish, one little, itty, bitty wish)
If I could just have one wish

[Intro]
Damn, baby
Just don't understand where we went wrong
I gave you my heart
I gave you my soul
I gave you—

[Verse 1]
As a matter of fact, I was the one who said I loved you first
It was about eight years ago, don't act like you don't know
We were sittin' at home in your mama's livin' room
'Cause we couldn't be alone
See, your mama knew I was somethin' else, she knew how I felt
Back then, we were in school and that's your favorite excuse
Growin' up, I was a fool and I can't lie, I'm missin' you
Listen and don't trip
I think I need a bottle with a genie in it

[Pre-Chorus]
Here's my wish list
First one, I would create a heart-changin' love
Second one, I'll take yours and fill it all up
Third one, but I don't need a lot of wishes
'Cause I'll be okay if I get one

[Chorus]
If I had one wish, we would be best friends
Love would never end, it would just begin
If I had one wish, you would be my boo
Promise to love you, trust me, I'll trust you
If I had one wish, we would run away
Makin' love all day, have us a baby
If I had one wish, I'll make you my whole life
And you'll be my wife, make it right this time
If I had one wish

[Post-Chorus]
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish

[Verse 2]
Now, tell me, is this the only way I can get you right back in?
If so, then searchin' I'll go, then I can have you for sho
Then you'll be lovin' me, holdin' me, kissin' me
So girl, don't tell me what I'm feelin' is make-believe
I swear, if I lose a second chance with you
I wouldn't know what to do
I'll probably check myself into some kind of clinic
I couldn't be alone because without you, I'm sick

[Pre-Chorus]
Here's my wish list
First one, I would create a heart-changin' love
Second one, I'll take yours and fill it all up
Third one, but I don't need a lot of wishes
'Cause I'll be okay if I get one

[Chorus]
If I had one wish, we would be best friends
Love would never end, it would just begin (Startin' here, right now)
If I had one wish, you would be my boo
Promise to love you (Promise love), trust me, I'll trust you (I'll trust you)
If I had one wish, we would run away (Yes, we would)
Makin' love all day (It would feel so good), have us a baby (Woo)
If I had one wish, I'll make you my whole life (Oh, yeah)
And you'll be my wife, make it right this time
If I had one wish

[Bridge]
I don't even know how we ended up on this road
And, even though we are grown, girl, I just want you to know

[Chorus]
If I had one wish, we would be best friends
Love would never end, it would just begin (Introducin' yourself all over again)
If I had one wish, you would be my boo (Would you be my girlfriend?)
Promise to love you (Yes, I promise to love you), trust me, I'll trust you (Trust me, baby, and I'll trust you)
If I had one wish (One wish), we would run away (One wish)
Makin' love all day (One wish), have us a baby (Have us a baby)
If I had one wish (Ooh), I'll make you my whole life (Yes, I will)
And you'll be my wife (Yes, I will), make it right this time
If I had one wish, we would be best friends (Some people wish to be a superstar, wish to have a fancy car)
Love would never end, it would just begin (Wish to have a million bucks, I'm wishin' on bein' in love)
If I had one wish, you would be my boo (So feel me, pretty baby)
Promise to love you, trust me, I'll trust you (I'd make one wish and I'd wish it all on you)
If I had one wish (Oh), we would run away (Oh)
Makin' love all day, have us a baby (Makin' love 'til the break of dawn, me and you 'til the baby's born)
If I had one wish, I'll make you my whole life (Yeah, yeah)
And you'll be my wife, make it right this time
If I had one wish

[Post-Chorus]
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
