I Wish

Lookin 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 hangout with those hoodlum friends of mine, ooh yeah Greeted at the back door Boy, thought I told you not to go outside. Trying the best to bring the water to your eyes Thinking 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 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 About 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 Smoking 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 it, it sure felt outta sight 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 Do-do do-do do do do do do do do do Do-do do-do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do do do do do do Do-do do-do do do do do do do
