Three Wishes Lyrics

[Bridge]
Bring her home
Genie said, "I'm sorry
But that's the way it goes
Where the hell's the lamp sucker?
It's time for me to go
Bye!"

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
There's something in the air
And you don't know what it is
You see someone through a window
Who you've just learned to miss
And the road leads on to glory but
You've used up your last wish
Your last wish
And you want her to come home

[Spoken Sample]
"I go there sometimes twice a year now, sometimes only once. And sometimes when I feel like crying, I just go there."

[Instrumental Outro]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
