The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wishin' I was skinny
Wishin' that the whole world knew my name
Wishin' I was thrillin', that I would never be
to blame, wishin' I was kissin' a girl with lips
smooth as pearl, wishin' I was pretty, wish that
I could twist the world round my finger, wishin'
I had money wishin' for the time to spend it all,
wish that I could wrap the world round my finger,
but I would always love you, I guess that would
never change.
