I Wish Video (MV)

Looking 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
Ooh-ooh
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 (days) could (could)
Come back once more
I'd miss those days (days) if (if)
They ever had to go
I wish those days (days) could (could)
Come back once more
I'd miss those days (days) if (if)
They ever had to go
'Cause I love them so

Brother said he's tellin'
'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl
"Just don't tell and 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

Smokin' cigarettes and
Writing something nasty on the wall
(You nasty girl)
Teacher sends you to the
Principal's office down the hall, hmm, aah

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 (days) could (could)
Come back once more
I'd miss those days (days) if (if)
They ever had to go
I wish those days (days) could (could)
Come back once more
I'd miss those days (days) if (if)
They ever had to go
'Cause I love them so

I wish
