I Wish Lyrics - Melanie C

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 

Sneaking out the back door 

To hangout with those hoodlum friends of mine, ooh yeah 

Greeted at the back door 

Boy, thought I told you not to go outside. 

Trying the best to bring the water to your eyes 

Thinking it might stop her from whoopin' your behind. 

I wish these 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 loved them so 

Do-do do-do do do do do do do do do 

Do-do do-do do do do do do do 

Do do do do do do do do do do do do 

Do-do do-do do do do do do do 

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 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 these 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 

Do-do do-do do do do do do do do do 

Do-do do-do do do do do do do 

Do do do do do do do do do do do do 

Do-do do-do do do do do do do
