Face to face, in a crowded basement
You were all amazement
That I should hate the way that I was just a replacement
I said, don't rebound on me, I am not a tennis court
This is not Monopoly, or a spectator sport
Maybe it used to be but I've been through too much
Talk, but don't touch, just
Give me the wishbone
Give me the wishbone and I'll make a wish on this
I'll wish for mutual love and happiness
I'll wish for friendship free from artifice
Just give me the wishbone
Give me the wishbone
Side by side in virtual contentment
My resentment, self-evident when I pleaded the 5th amendment
'Cause I can't talk about things I can't abide
'Specially when we're mix and matching wrong and right
Let's quit the physical while we're still ahead
No damage done, no blood shed and I said
Give me the wishbone
Give me the wishbone and I'll make a wish on this
I'll wish for mutual love and happiness
I'll wish for friendship free from artifice
Just give me the wishbone
Give me the wishbone
Give me the wishbone
Give me the wishbone
I sashayed away in my elegant stilettos
Like a hundred different women who had walked that way before me
I inflected my invective with all these self-reflexive echoes
And I said I just didn't want somebody who could not adore me
Oh and you stood and you stared and you were rooted to the spot
Was it the brutal truth or the rudeness you saw in my parting shot
Ah and your eyes, they kind of liquidized and you were like, "Well I do"
Honey, science dictates I do nothing without proof
So why don't you
Give me the wishbone
Give me the wishbone and I'll make a wish on this
I'll wish for mutual love and happiness
I'll wish for friendship free from artifice
Just give me the wishbone
Give me the wishbone
Give me the wishbone
Give me the wishbone
Give me the wishbone
