I Wish - Stevie Wonder
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
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
Grom woopin' 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

Brother says he's tellin'
'Bout 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
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 it
sure 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
