Melanie C (Melanie Chisholm) - I Wish 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 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
