Wishful Thinkin' Lyrics

You got that right, wishful thinking, kindly request
Your high school days again, but don't let it be the end of you

You got that right, wishful thinking
Tryin' to bear the cross, you can't outsmart the boss
Don't let it be the end of you

You got that right, wishful thinking
Playin' with the moon, won't you realize
We'll get there soon
Don't let it be the end of you, you got that right
You got that right, wishful thinking you got that right
You got that right, wishful thinking you got that right
You got that right, wishful thinking you got that right
You got that right, wishful thinking you got that right

Wishful thinking, she ain't gonna get you that right
Wishful thinking, wishful thinking, you're playing with the moon
Relax you'll get there soon
Don't let it be the end of
You or me or you or me or you or me or you or me

Wishful thinking, playing with the moon relax, we'll
be there soon don't let it be the end of
You or me or you or me or you or me or you or me
Wishful thinking, you got that right you got
that right you got that right
Well if you don't know, you got that right
Wishful thinking wishful thinking wishful thinking,
that's what we're talking about here
You wanna know something
You got that right
You got that right
You got that right
Wishful thinking, you got that right
Wishful thinking, you got that right

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
