Wishlist

Won't somebody turn the lights on
It's getting kind of dark in here
Think I'll hang out with a bad crowd
Drink myself into the New Year

I'm taking off work today
Driving downtown for an early matinée
Trying to keep the blues away
What I'm trying to say is

I'm a little tired of taking care of everyone but myself
I put it on the wishlist
I put it on the wishlist
I've been feeling this way forever
I decide to wait till December
And put it on the wishlist
Just put it on the wishlist

I had a dream that I moved away
I was waiting for my song to play
Thought it was going to be next
Once I was through I could rest
Loosen the knot in my chest
But it never came

Sorry it's not what you wanted
I tried my best
I did it for you
Filled up our tiny apartment
I thought that you wanted me to

I'm a little tired of taking care of everyone but myself
I put it on the wishlist
I put it on the wishlist
I've been feeling this way forever
I decide to wait till December
And put it on the wishlist
Just put it on the wishlist

I'll have it all
Silk sheets and curtains on the wall
And a tiny dog named Couscous
I'll bring to every mall
We'll shop for diamond collars
I'll spend a million dollars
No one can tell me what to do

I'm going to take my turn
Take my turn
Watch and learn
Take my turn

I'm a little tired of taking care of everyone but myself
I put it on the wishlist
I put it on the wishlist
I've been feeling this way forever
I decide to wait till December
And put it on the wishlist
I guess I'll put it on the wishlist
I guess I'll put it on the wishlist
