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
