Peter Allen (10 February 1944 – 18 June 1992) was an Australian songwriter and entertainer. His songs were made popular by many recording artists, including Elkie Brooks, Melissa Manchester and Olivia Newton-John, with one, "Arthur's Theme", winning an Academy Award in 1981. In addition to recording many albums, he enjoyed a cabaret and concert career, including appearing at Radio City Music Hall riding a camel. His marriage to Liza Minnelli ended in divorce, and culminated his heterosexual guise. He subsequently proclaimed his homosexuality and publicly entered a relationship with Gregory Connell that lasted until Connell's death, 15 years later. more »

Don't wish too hard for what you want
Or then you might get it
And then when you get it
Then you might wish you never got it all

And don't go lookin' for love to come
Or then it might find you
(Then it might find you)
And then when it finds you
Then you might wish that you had never been born

How I wished for you and now you're here
Now I wish that I could disappear and go away

Oh, baby, my poor heart's repeatin', it can't stand the beatin'
That it's been takin'
I can't tell if you're fakin'
Every time you're making love to me

One day soon, I'm gonna change my tune
And without hesitating
I'll be leaving you waiting

And you'll find that what you really wanted
And what you end up getting
You never really wanted at all

Oh baby, how you'll wish for me and I won't be there
So long darlin', I'll just disappear and go away

Wish too hard, don't wish too hard
Don't wish too hard

You'll find, what you really wanted
And what you end up getting
You never really wanted at all

How I wished for you and now you're here
Now I wish that I could disappear and go away

Don't, don't wish too hard
(Wish too hard)
Don't, don't keep looking
Don't wish too hard, don't keep looking
Don't wish too hard for love to come

And then you'll find, what you really wanted
And what you end up getting
You never really wanted at all
(Don't wish too hard)

Don't wish too hard, don't wish too hard
Don't wish too hard, don't wish too hard
Don't wish too hard
