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

And 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
