I Wish I Had A Girl
Stonewall Jackson · Waterloo [2004]
I wish I had a girl someone to love me true
I wish I had a sweetheart just like you
Someone to hold me close and never break a vow
And I know that we could get along somehow.
We may not have these great big things or money
But please I need someone to love me now
A pretty little thing like you a sweetheart just like you
And I know that we could really get along.
--- Instrumental ---
I've never had a love and life's no good alone
I've never had someone to call my own
And when I'm close to you the whole world seems brand new
So I know that we could really get along.
We may not have these great big things or money
But please I need someone to love me now
A pretty little thing like you a sweetheart just like you
And I know that we could really get along.
Yes, I know that we could really get along...
