Stevie Wonder - I Wish - Single Edit 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 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 Thinkin' it might stop her from woopin' your behind I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days e-ver have to go? I wish those days could, come back once more Why did those days e-ver have to go? 'Cause I love them so Brother says he's tellin' 'bout you playin' doctor with that girl Just don't tell, an' I'll give you anythin' 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, 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 those days could come back once more Why did those days e-ver have to go? I wish those days could, come back once more Why did those days e-ver have to go?
