I wish I knew a man
Someone to steal me
From this sadnessI wish I knew a girl
Who'd run her fingers
Through my hair and kiss meWish, I didn't have to pretend
That when I'm talking to the floor
I'm talking to youIf I had a friend
Then such stupid things
I'd never have to do
I wish I had a friendI wish I knew a man
One who'd help me
Stop disguising my feelingsI wish I knew a girl
Who'd keep me from
Silencing my heart's voiceOh, I wish I didn't feel
Like an island
No country will claimWish I had a friend who'd stop me
From falling into this depression
All over againI wish I had a friend like that
Oh, but I know it will never be
So that friend for me
Has to come from inside of me
My friend will have to be meI wish I knew a man
Someone to help me
Stop being self-consciousI wish I knew a girl
One to take away my fear of dyingI wish I weren't afraid that some spirit
Will come out of the darkness and carry me away
Wish I had a friend whom if that happened
Would storm right in and save the dayI wish I had a friend like that
Oh, but I know it will never be
So that friend for me
Has to come from inside of me
My friend will have to be me
