[Fantasia, Patti LaBelle, Yolanda Adams - I Wish lyrics]
Looking back on when I
Was a little nappy headed boy
(Ooh ahh, ooh ahh) then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my toy
(Ooh ahh, ooh ahh) even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing we were happy with the
Joy the day would bring
Sneaking out the back door
To hang out with those hoodlum
Friends of mine (Ooh ahh, ooh ahh)
Greeted at the back door
With, "Boy thought I told you
Not to go outside"
Tryin' your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin' it might stop her
From woopin' your behind
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
'Cause, I love them so
Brother says he's tellin'
'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl
(Ooh ahh, ooh ahh)
Just don't tell I'll give you
Anything you want in this whole wide world
(Ooh ahh, ooh ahh)
Mama gives you money for Sunday school
You trade yours for candy
After church is through
Smokin' cigarettes and writing something
Nasty on the wall (You nasty boy)
Teacher sends you to the principal's
Office down the wall
You grow up and learn that
Kinda thing ain't right
But while you were doin'it-it
Sure felt outta sight
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
I wish those days (I wish those days)
Could come back once more why did those days
(I wish those days) ever have to go
(Somebody say it, I wish those days)
I wish those days (I wish those days)
Could come back once more why did those days
(I wish those days) ever have to go
'Cause, I love them so i love them
I love them i love them
I love them
Was a little nappy headed boy
(Ooh ahh, ooh ahh) then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my toy
(Ooh ahh, ooh ahh) even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing we were happy with the
Joy the day would bring
Sneaking out the back door
To hang out with those hoodlum
Friends of mine (Ooh ahh, ooh ahh)
Greeted at the back door
With, "Boy thought I told you
Not to go outside"
Tryin' your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin' it might stop her
From woopin' your behind
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
'Cause, I love them so
Brother says he's tellin'
'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl
(Ooh ahh, ooh ahh)
Just don't tell I'll give you
Anything you want in this whole wide world

Why did those days ever have to go
I wish those days (I wish those days)
Could come back once more why did those days
(I wish those days) ever have to go
(Somebody say it, I wish those days)
I wish those days (I wish those days)
Could come back once more why did those days
(I wish those days) ever have to go
'Cause, I love them so i love them
I love them i love them
I love them
