Get on the merry go round now   Jump off, don't wonder where or how   Whoo, life isn't how it was planned to be   So many wishes to release   Be disappointed, hard to please   Whoo, life isn't how it was planned to be      I wish I were an artist   then I could paint the world as I see it   I wish I were a dancer   then I guess the dress in the wardrobe would fit   I wish I were a pirate   looking for gold and adventures at sea   I wish I had witchcraft   casting spells on boys to make them love me      But I haven't got any ship I can get on   And I haven't got any boys to call me down      Get on the merry go round now   Jump off, don't wonder where or how   Whoo, life isn't how it was planned to be   So many wishes to release   Be disappointed, hard to please   Whoo, life isn't how it was planned to be      I wish I were a kitten   black and unknown I would seduce him   I wish I were more important   maybe I wouldn't end up losing him   I wish we were in springtime   you would be nine and I would be ten   I wish you kept your promise   by marrying when we are twenty-seven      The season's here but I'll never reach that age again   And you still look upon me as a friend
