I Wish, I Wish Lyrics - Mona Bone Jakon - Cat Stevens

Oh yeah, 

I wish I knew, I wish I knew 

What makes me, me, and what makes you, you. 

It's just another point of view, (ooh) 

A state of mind I'm going through, (yes) 

So what I see is never true, (ahh) 

I wish I could tell, I wish I could tell 

What makes a heaven what makes a hell. 

And do I get to ring my bell, (ooh) 

Or land up in some dusty cell, (no) 

While others reach the big hotel, (yeah)

I wish I had, I wish I had 

The secret of good, and the secret of bad. 

Why does this question drive me mad? (ahh) 

'Cause I was taught when but a lad, (yeah) 

That bad was good and good was bad, (no) 

I wish I knew the mystery of 

That thing called hate, and that thing called love. 

What makes the in-between so rough? (ahh) 

Why is it always push and shove? (ahh) 

I guess I just don't know enough, (yeah) 

Yeah, yeah 

Yeah, yeah 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I wish I knew, I wish I knew, 

I wish I knew, I wish I knew 

Somebody tell me, somebody tell me
