Stevie Wonder – I Wish Lyrics
Artist: Stevie Wonder
Song: I Wish
Looking back on when I
Was a little nappy-headed boy (Just this morn’, just this morn’)
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 (Ooh)
Greeted at the back door
With “Boy, thought I told you not to go outside” (Yeah)
Tryin’ your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinking 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 said he’s tellin’
‘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 (I get used to it)
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?
Ow
What you say?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Baby baby baby
Baby yeah
