Lyrics

I Wish You Wouldn't Say That

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I wish you wouldn't say that

I thought I'd have to come right over

I thought I made it clear enough

I guess I'll have to make it clearer

Say something to change your mind

Bring me back the way I used to be

If it takes forever that's all right

Say the words that I've been trying to hear

I wish you didn't tell her

I thought O'd have to come right over

I thought I'd have to make it clearer

Now Jimmy's coming over

There are places that I won't forget

And I guess I'm never going back

Guess it's information that I lack

I've told lies without a hint or regret

I wish you wouldn't say that

I wish you wouldn't say that

I wish you wouldn't say that

I wish you wouldn't say that

I wish you wouldn't say that

I wish you wouldn't say that

I wish you wouldn't say that...
