Stevie Wonder - I Wish Lyrics

[@martyting6834]

It's not just the lyrics that are great, it's how Stevie delivers them. His voice is raspy and strong, persuasive and honest.

[@PrincessLeichelle]

One of the best bass lines every! My babies come running in to dance every time I play this. Gotta bring up the next generation right.

[@phyllisortega5510]

For sure Stevie said it all in this song, we did not need all the material things that some need today, we were happy with just the day & love..

I WISH MUSIC SOUNDED MORE LIKE THIS NOWADAYS

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

Asides from the epic production, notice how the lyrics tell an actual story. Nowadays, it is all about moronic repetition of words that mean nothing.

Don't care!! 😃 Thanks Mama for dancing with me in the kitchen, sharing your love for music and you're amazing taste in tunes!! 🙏

[@johndef5075]

if this doesn't make you smile there's something wrong with you

[@mcasenl]

If you listen to this song on a great sound system with heavy bass and crank up the volume to 11, or higher, or with some powerful headphones, and you don't get up and start moving and dancing, then there is one reason: you are DEAD!!

[@dubeights]

I didn't really pay much attention to all of the lyrics until now but this story is actually pretty funny

[@RonSafreed]

"Hey" that was "hood life in the ghetto" back in the mid-twentieth century 1950s!!!! Those black folk back then would "freak out" at what is the "hood" these days !!!!!! They are turning & sitting up in their graves at what is black America now !!!!!

[@sitdowndogbreath]

@@RonSafreed so much so, they slap da black off ya!

[@cpop3078]

I too, Miss those days ! Back then we had respect for elders, no matter who they were. Doing the relatively small simple acts of disobedience :some we got away with; some we didn't, and when you got caught : a "whuppin" soon followed. Children had respect because their parents had respect. Being poor was a way of life for many of us. But we were still respectful .I do miss those days. For me they were the 70s. .Peace !

[@debrabell5908]

Funny and true

[@anne-mariezack]

Oh for sure. Hilarious song, 👍

[@Erandieux]

What a great song. I can't believe the words never resonated before but this song hits home right now. I love it! Life is beautiful no matter the shades of darkness.

[@fr3qh0pp3r]

Gotta look at the Stevie Wonder at Hyde Park 2016 version of this song ! Bass is kickin it and the drummers are killin it !!! THIS PEOPLE is a HAPPY flashback of growing up in neighborhoods when and where your neighbors looked out for one another and their kids ! As I used to say, when your at home you are your mama’s child. But when you’re hanging out on the street, YOU’RE MY CHILD ! I remember my brother and I getting our butts lit up and we're standing there facing the wall. I’d look at my brother and he’d be laughing while I cried rubbing my butt ! This song by Stevie just makes ME HAPPY and SAD at the same time because I greatly miss those days of growing up ! Miss you dad so much as well as you my big brother ! Rest In Peace !

[@sevenfingers2001]

2 thumbs up! I boogie to this at work as long as my supervisor isn't around. He thinks it's innapropriate for an armed guard to have fun. It's nice that the VP where I work thinks it's cool.

Looking back on when I was a little nappy headed boy Then my only worry was for Christmas, what would be my toy? Even though we sometimes would not get a thing We were happy with the joy the day would bring Sneaking out the back door to hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine Greeted at the back door with "Boy, thought I told you not to go outside!" Tryin' your best to bring the water to your eyes Thinkin' it might stop her from whoopin' your behind I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ever have to go? I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ever have to go? 'Cause I love them so...
