Stevie Wonder - I Wish lyrics
[Stevie Wonder - 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
Thought I told you not to go outside"
Tryin' your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinking 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
Brother said he's telling 'bout you
Playin' doctor with that girl
Just don't tell and 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
Smokin' cigarettes and writing something
Nasty on the wall (You nasty boy)
Teacher sends you to the principal's
Office down the hall
You grow up and learn that
Kind of thing ain't right
But while you were doing 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 could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
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
Thought I told you not to go outside"
Tryin' your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinking 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
Brother said he's telling 'bout you
Playin' doctor with that girl
Just don't tell and 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
Smokin' cigarettes and writing something
Nasty on the wall (You nasty boy)
Teacher sends you to the principal's
Office down the hall
You grow up and learn that
Kind of thing ain't right
But while you were doing 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 could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
