I Wish

I Wish - Cap Pela

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

That they would bring

Sneaking out the back door to

Hang out with

Those hoodlum friends of mine

Greeted at the back door

With I thought

I told you not to go outside

Trying the best to bring that

Water to your eyes

Thinking it might stop her

From whupping 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 ever have to go

'Cause I loved 'em so

Brother says hes telling

Bout you playing 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 chuch is through

Smoking cigarettes and writing

Writing something nasty on the wall

Teacher sends you to

The principle office down the hall

You grow up and learn that

Kind of thing ain't right

But while you were doing

It it sure felt outta sight

I wish those days

Could come back once more

Why did those days ever ever have to go

I wish those days

Could come back once more

Why did those days ever ever have to go
