This is a sweet song of sorrow
living for tomorrow

little girl, don't you know
i wish i didn't love you so
my love for you should have faded
a long, a real long time ago
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

oh-ho i wish i didn't need your kiss
tell me, why must your kiss torture me
& drive me crazy like this?
(do it baby; don't do it baby)

i should be smiling by now (i'm gon' find somebody)
with some new, fine, tender thing (who really, really loves me)
i should be smiling by now
with my heart on the mend

& when, when i try (everytime i do)
something in my heart (i ain't lying)
says my life still depends on you
i can't get you out of my head
i still got to depend on you
i wish, i really wish i didn't love you so

i wish, i wish, i wish, oh baby
i wish, i wish, i wish, oh baby
i didn't love you so much
