Chris Young - What I Wish I'd Said lyrics
[Chris Young - What I Wish I'd Said lyrics]
He was a skinny kid who might as
Well've had a bullseye on his back
'cause his hand me down clothes were not the
Kind the rest of us kids had
He ate lunch alone most all the time
So he never had much to say
And in part I felt responsible
Cuz in Johnson's class one day
I chose words I was sure would
Make his face turn red
But that's not What I Wish I'd Said
Me and my little sister
Were pretty good buddies
But we teased each other alot
And I thought it was pretty funny
When she couldn't get a date to the prom
And she came home and said "what the heck
I'll find somethin' else to do"
And I said "If you weren't such
A pain in the neck
Maybe you'd be goin' too"
She looked up and her eyes were red
And lookin' back now that's not
What I Wish I'd said
What I Wish I'd said to that kid instead
Is I can always use another friend
And What I Wish I'd said, if I had the chance
Is "Do you think that your big bother
Could escort you to that dance?"
Thats What I Wish I'd said
Now here we stand just you and me
And tempers are flarin' high
You look like you're about to leave
But before you say goodbye
What I Wish I'd said is a whole lot less
And just held on to our happiness
Now we'd have a lot fewer problems to
Solve, if I'd just said nothing
Nothing at all
Now that's What I Wish I'd said
That's What I Wish I'd said
Well've had a bullseye on his back
'cause his hand me down clothes were not the
Kind the rest of us kids had
He ate lunch alone most all the time
So he never had much to say
And in part I felt responsible
Cuz in Johnson's class one day
I chose words I was sure would
Make his face turn red
But that's not What I Wish I'd Said
Me and my little sister
Were pretty good buddies
But we teased each other alot
And I thought it was pretty funny
When she couldn't get a date to the prom
And she came home and said "what the heck
I'll find somethin' else to do"
And I said "If you weren't such
A pain in the neck
Maybe you'd be goin' too"
She looked up and her eyes were red
And lookin' back now that's not
What I Wish I'd said
What I Wish I'd said to that kid instead
Is I can always use another friend
And What I Wish I'd said, if I had the chance
Is "Do you think that your big bother
Could escort you to that dance?"
Thats What I Wish I'd said
Now here we stand just you and me
And tempers are flarin' high
You look like you're about to leave
But before you say goodbye
What I Wish I'd said is a whole lot less
And just held on to our happiness
Now we'd have a lot fewer problems to
Solve, if I'd just said nothing
Nothing at all
Now that's What I Wish I'd said
That's What I Wish I'd said
