Can I talk to you for a minute?

(Ooh) you know, I be thinking to myself
We had a lot of good times together 
(Come on, baby, come on darlin', come here darlin')
We did everything together

(All I need, all I need, all I need is a chance to make it right)
Yeah, we would wake up early in the morning 
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)
Use to watch the sunrise
(One wish, one wish)

(All I need, all I need, all I need is a chance to make it right)
Use to watch the sunset 
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)

(All I need, all I need, all I need is a chance to make it right)
You know, 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

Damn baby
I just don't understand where we went wrong
I gave you my heart
I gave you my soul
I gave you

As a matter of fact I was the one who said I love 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 something 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 missing you
Listen and don't trip
Think I need a bottle with a genie in it
Here's my wish list

First one, I would create a heart changing 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

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
Making 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
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish

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 loving me, holding me, kissing me
So girl don't tell me what I'm feeling 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
Here's my wish list

First one, I would create a heart changing 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

If I had one wish, we would be best friends (we'd be best friends)
Love would never end, it would just begin (starting 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)
Making love all day (it would feel so good)
Have us a baby (whoa-oh)
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

I don't even know how we ended upon this road
And, even though we are grown
Girl I just want you to know

If I had one wish, we would be best friends (one)
Love would never end, it would just begin (love would never end)
Introducing yourself all over again (if I had one wish)
And would you be my girlfriend? (You would be my boo)
'Cause I promise to love you (promise to love you)
Trust me baby and I'll trust you (trust me I'll trust you)
If I had one wish (one wish), we would run away (one wish)
Making love all day (one wish), have us a baby (one wish)
If I had one wish, I'll make you my whole life (yes I will)
And you'll be my wife (yes I will), make it right this time

Some people wish to be a super star (if I had one wish, we would be best friends)
Wish to have a fancy car (love would never end, it would just begin)
Wish to have a million bucks
I'm wishing on being 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 make one wish, and I wish it all on you
If I had one wish, we would run away
Making love all day (making love 'til the break of dawn)
Have us a baby (me and you 'til the baby's born)
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
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
