I Wish Lyrics

[Verse 1: Fantasia]

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

[Verse 2: Patti & Yolanda]

Sneaking out the back door

To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine

Greeted at the back door

With, "Boy, I thought I told you not to go outside"

Tryin' your best to bring the

Water to your eyes

Thinkin' it might stop her

From whoopin' 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

I love them so[Verse 3: Fantasia]

My 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

[Verse 4: Patti & Yolanda]

Smokin' cigarettes and

Writing something nasty on the wall (You nasty boy)

Teacher sends you to the

Principal's office down the wall

You grow up and learn

That kinda thing ain't right

But while you were doin' it

You were doin it, 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?
