VERSE
Wish I was more than one
One for work and one for fun
One to go and one to stay
Little darlin', I'm goin' away
Well, I wish I was two somehow
That could make it all so easy now
One to stay and one to go
Little darlin', I love you so
CHORUS
(But/and) it's bye, bye
Time won't let me be
Bye, goodbye, babe
Oh, child, I swear
There ain't no one that's free
VERSE
Well, I wish I was in control
Free to stay and let the good times roll
Stay with you, babe, I wish I could
Little darlin', you know I would
(REPEAT CHORUS)
VERSE
Well, I wish I was dreamin' this
And wakin' up to your sweet kiss now
Free to stay with this love we've found
Little darlin', I'm highway bound
(REPEAT CHORUS)
