I Wish

Looking back on when I was a little nappy-headed boy
 Then my only worry was for Christmas, what would be my toy
 Even when sometimes we'd not get a thing
 We were happy with the joy the day would bring
 Sneaking out the back to hang out with those friends of mine
 Greeted at the back door with "I thought I told not to go outside?"
 Trying your best to bring the sorrow to your eyes
 Thinking it might stop her from whooping your behind
 I wish those days could come back once more
 Why did those days end, Ver have to go
 I wish those days could come back once more
 Why did those days end, Ver have to go
 Cos I love him so ... I love him
 My brother says he telling 'bout me playing doctor with that girl
 Scott don't tell,
 I'll give you anything you want in this whole wide world
 Momma gives you money for stuff at school
 You trade your spare candy after church as well
 Smoking cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall
 (You nasty boy)
 Teacher takes you to the Principal's office down the hall
 I can't do that
 You grow up and learn that that kind of thing ain't right
 But while you were doing it, it sure felt right out of sight
 I wish those days could come back once more
 Why did those days end, Ver have to go
 I wish those days could come back once more
 Why did those days end, Ver have to go
 Cos I love him so ...
 (Sing it, sing it, sing it)
 I wish those days could come back once more
 Why did those days end, Ver have to go
 I wish those days could come back once more
 Why did those days end, Ver have to go
 Cos I love him so
