Jools Holland, Melanie C - I Wish lyrics

Looking back on when I was
A little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry was for Christmas
What would be my toy?
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
Greeted at the back door with "Boy
I thought I told you not to go outside!"
Tryin' your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin' it might stop her
From whoopin' 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

Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo

Brother says he's tellin' about you
Playin' doctor with that girl
"Just don't tell
I'll give you anything you want
In this whole wide world"
Mama gives you money for Sunday school
You trade yours for candy
After church is through
Smoking cigarettes and writing something
Nasty on the wall (You nasty girl)
Teacher sends you to the principal's
Office down the hall
You grow up and learn that
Kinda thing ain't right
But while you were doing it
It sure felt out of sight

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, yeah, hoo woo
