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
    From woopin' your behind

    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 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 ev-er have to go
    I wish those days could come back once more
    Why did those days ev-er have to go
