I Wish I Had a Girl Lyrics

Wooow, hey
Mmm mmm mmm mmm

You can have your Cajun queens
Down in New Orleans
And take the movie stars
Who drive impress me more cars

Take your high class show and tell
Don't need no modern-day Jezebel
All I want, ain't no lie
Check it out, Leroy, they breeze by

Wish I had a girl who walked like that, ooh, yeah
Wish I had that girl, uh huh
Wish I had a girl who walked like that, yeah
Wish I had that girl, yeah

That's it, that's it, ha ha

(Have mercy)
Woo, have mercy, woo
Come on

You can have your socialites
Mmm, caviar, honey, champagne nights
Me, I'll take the nine to five stuff
Oh, and I'll tell you what
Me, I'll take what I can now
So you know it's hard to understand
Not all it takes to satisfy
Check it out, Leroy, they breeze by

Wish I had a girl who walked like that, ooh, yeah
Wish I had that girl, uh huh
Hey, wish I had a girl who walked like that, yeah
Well, I wish I had a girl like that
And I'd take her home and walk her all night long, yeah

Hey, hey, hey

Ooh, yeah (Have mercy)
Mmm, have mercy (ooh, yeah)

I wish I had a (Had a, had a)
I wish I had a (Had a, had a)
I wish I had a girl
I wish I had that girl
I wish I had that girl, ooh, yeah

Lookie there, lookie there
Lookie there, yeah, wow

Wish I had a girl who walked like that
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Wish I had that girl, girl, girl
Wish I had a girl who walked like that
Yes, I do, yeah
I wish I had a girl
I wish I had a girl
I wish I had a girl
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Wish I had a girl who walked like that, ooh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Wish I had that girl

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 [?]
