Текст песни i wish, Stevie Wonder

Looking back on when I was a little nappyheaded 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.
Sneakin out the back door to hangout
with those hoodlum friends of mine.

Ooh
greeted at the back door with

Boy, I thought I told you not to go outside.
Tryin the best to bring the water to your eyes

thinkin 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.

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 hall.
You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain t right
But while you were doin t 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?
Cause I loved them so.
