I Wish -Jesse Boykins III I could tell by the way she held me By the way she held me She was looking for love She was she was A beautiful woman living her life But how lonely she was So alone so alone I can tell by the way she glanced at me I always caught her staring She was a little afraid So scared Afraid of expressin her true feelings But her body language always gave it away Gave it away I wish I could be the man she ran to Man she ran too I wish I could be the man she yearned for She yearned for I wish I could be the man she dreamt of I wish I could be the one Be the one Now I could tell by the conversations She was willing to grow She was willing to grow Take the time out to learn some things And I'd take the time out to show And I could tell by the long goodbyes She say never really wanted to leave me She never really wanted to leave me And I could tell you a lot of things I think I know But I wouldn't be sure till she tells me Tells me If only She's given and gives herself to me These visions are more than make believe If only I had a chance I wish to simply help her understand I wish We were more than friends I wish too make the aching end Oh I wish I wish I wish I wish I could be the man she ran to I wish I could be the man she yearned for She yearned for only me I wish I could be the man she dreamt of I wish I could be the one Be the one Be the one Be the one
