I Wish
Looking back on when I was a little nappy-headed boy
Then my only worry was for Christmas, what would be my toy
Even when sometimes we'd not get a thing
We were happy with the joy the day would bring
Sneaking out the back to hang out with those friends of mine
Greeted at the back door with "I thought I told not to go outside?"
Trying your best to bring the sorrow to your eyes
Thinking it might stop her from whooping your behind
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days end, Ver have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days end, Ver have to go
Cos I love him so ... I love him
My brother says he telling 'bout me playing doctor with that girl
Scott don't tell,
I'll give you anything you want in this whole wide world
Momma gives you money for stuff at school
You trade your spare candy after church as well
Smoking cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall
(You nasty boy)
Teacher takes you to the Principal's office down the hall
I can't do that
You grow up and learn that that kind of thing ain't right
But while you were doing it, it sure felt right out of sight
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days end, Ver have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days end, Ver have to go
Cos I love him so ...
(Sing it, sing it, sing it)
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days end, Ver have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days end, Ver have to go
Cos I love him so
Then my only worry was for Christmas, what would be my toy
Even when sometimes we'd not get a thing
We were happy with the joy the day would bring
Sneaking out the back to hang out with those friends of mine
Greeted at the back door with "I thought I told not to go outside?"
Trying your best to bring the sorrow to your eyes
Thinking it might stop her from whooping your behind
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days end, Ver have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days end, Ver have to go
Cos I love him so ... I love him
My brother says he telling 'bout me playing doctor with that girl
Scott don't tell,
I'll give you anything you want in this whole wide world
Momma gives you money for stuff at school
You trade your spare candy after church as well
Smoking cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall
(You nasty boy)
Teacher takes you to the Principal's office down the hall
I can't do that
You grow up and learn that that kind of thing ain't right
But while you were doing it, it sure felt right out of sight
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days end, Ver have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days end, Ver have to go
Cos I love him so ...
(Sing it, sing it, sing it)
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days end, Ver have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days end, Ver have to go
Cos I love him so
