| Songs In The Key Of Life

| I Wish
|
| 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 that they would bring,
|
| Sneakin out the back door to hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
|
| Greeted at the back door with «I thought I told you not to go outside»,
|
| Tryin the best to bring that water to your eye
|
| Thinkin it might stop her from whuppin 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 loved 'em so…
|
| Brother says hes tellin, bout you playin doctor with that girl
|
| Just don’t tell Ill give you, anything you want in this whole wide
|
| world,
|
| Mama gives you money, for Sunday school
|
| You trade yours for candy, after chuch is through
|
| Smokin cigarettes and writin somethin nasty on the wall
|
| Teacher sends you to the principle office down the hall
|
| You grow up and learn that kind of thing aint 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 ev-er have to go
|
| I wish those days, could, come back once more
|
| Why did those days ev-er have to go, cause I loved em so… |
