I Wish
Carl Thomas
Struggling with I Wish? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
It was love at first sight I know from the way she looked at me Her eyes said it all Long days and nights, we spent Until she dropped the bomb on me When she said that she Was unhappily married with children And I wish I never met her at all Even though I love her so She got love from me But she still belongs to someone else It hurts so bad, for sure Because she wants to be with me But she cannot be with me She chose to stay, at home So they could be a family For the children But what about me? And I wish I never met her at all Even though I love her so She got love from me But she still belongs to someone else Maybe in another life Things could be the way we both desired It's a catch-22 (catch-22) Either way it went Someone had to lose And I wish I never met her at all Even though I love her so She got love from me But she still belongs to someone else, ooh And I wish I never met her at all Even though I love her so She got love from me, ooh But she still belongs to someone else I wish I wish I never met her at all, ooh I wouldn't hurt so much inside
