Stevie Wonder Lyrics

"I Wish" lyrics


Lookin’ 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

Sneakin’ out the back door
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine, ooh
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 whippin’ 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
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

Smokin’ cigarettes
And writin’ somethin’ nasty on the wall (You nasty boy)
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 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 could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
