I Wish - Stevie Wonder

[00:17.11]Looking back on when i
[00:20.67]Was a little nappy headed boy
[00:25.85]Then my only worry
[00:29.9]Was for christmas what would be my toy
[00:34.05]Even though we sometimes
[00:37.43]Would not get a thing
[00:41.12]We were happy with the
[00:42.8]Joy the day would bring
[00:44.99]Sneaking out the back door
[00:47.37]To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
[00:54.38]Greeted at the back door
[00:56.43]With "boy thought i told you not to go outside "
[01:01.38]Tryin' your best to bring the
[01:05.32]Water to your eyes
[01:07.93]Thinkin' it might stop her
[01:10.01]From woopin' your behind
[01:11.94]I wish those days could come back once more
[01:16.43]Why did those days ev-er have to go
[01:20.979996]I wish those days could come back once more
[01:25.49]Why did those days ev-er have to go
[01:29.79]Cause i love them so
[01:39.97]Brother says he's tellin'
[01:41.759995]'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl
[01:44.7]Just don't tell i'll give you
[01:50.82]Anything you want in this whole wide world
[01:54.630005]Mama gives you money for sunday school
[02:01.01]You trade yours for candy after church is through
[02:06.88]Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy)
[02:14.23]Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the wall
[02:24.92]You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
[02:29.53]But while you were doin'it-it sure felt outta sight
[02:33.32]I wish those days could come back once more
[02:37.98]Why did those days ev-er have to go
[02:42.48]I wish those days could come back once more
[02:46.86]Why did those days ev-er have to go
