Happy Feet movie - I Wish lyrics

rate me

Song by Fantasia, Patti and Yolanda<br /><br>

Looking back on when I<br>

Was a little nappy headed boy<br>

Then my only worry<br>

Was for Christmas what would be my toy<br>

Even though we sometimes<br>

Would not get a thing<br>

We were happy with the<br>

Joy the day would bring<br>

<br>

Sneaking out the back door<br>

To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine<br>

Greeted at the back door<br>

With boy thought I told you not to go outside<br>

Tryin' your best to bring the<br>

Water to your eyes<br>

Thinkin' it might stop her<br>

Grom woopin' your behind<br>

<br>

I wish those days could come back once more<br>

Why did those days ev-er have to go<br>

I wish those days could come back once more<br>

Why did those days ev-er have to go<br>

Cause I love them so<br>

<br>

Brother says he's tellin'<br>

'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl<br>

Just don't tell I'll give you<br>

Anything you want in this whole wide world<br>

Mama gives you money for Sunday school<br>

You trade yours for candy after church is through<br>

<br>

Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy)<br>

Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall<br>

You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right<br>

But while you were doing it-it sure felt outta sight<br>

<br>

I wish those days could come back once more<br>

Why did those days ev-er have to go<br>

I wish those days could come back once more<br>

Why did those days ev-er have to go<br>

<br>
