Hey boy, I wish you'd stop wishing, ooh ooh ooh
Mmm ooh, yeah yeah yeah
Wishing boy, ooh

When I saw you the other day
I smiled but you just turned away
I had to say myself remember
He likes to stay in his shell all alone

As I went along on my way
I knew you had so much to say
The words were locked deep inside
That's alright I'll give you every sign that I can

Now I know a girl who's got a crush on you
But she is just a little shy and a little proud
Now you know you've had the time
To think it through don't make me wait
Another day, let it out

I wish that you'd stop wishing
And finally ask so we can get started
On a love that will last
All the time we've wasted we'll never get back
So I wish that you'd stop wishing and finally ask

As I sit here and make believe
I know that you are watching me
Your eyes are burning a hole through my heart

If there's a place we can start let's begin
Now it seems to me you want me to give in
And make a move showing you that I care
But my love is still a prize that you must win
Don't waste a chance to take my heart while it's there

I wish that you'd stop wishing
And finally ask so we can get started
On a love that will last
All the time we've wasted we'll never get back
So I wish that you'd stop wishing and finally ask

Wanna get started now, can we get started now ooh
I wanna get started now, yeah yeah
Don't make me wait another day
Cause you know you've had the time to think about me
All the time we've wasted we'll never get back
So I wish that you'd stop wishing and finally ask

I wish that you'd stop wishing
And finally ask so we can get started
On a love that will last
All the time we've wasted we'll never get back
So I wish that you'd stop wishing and finally ask
