Wish You Wouldn’t

Once I get you off my mind

It's just like clockwork every time

You know exactly what to do

When I stop thinkin' 'bout you

Oh, I, I, I

You got all the words to say

Just so you can get your way

But when I start to see it through

And I picture me with you

You lie, lie, lie

With you, ain't nothing ever really different

But somehow every time I always give in

Don't waste my time on temporary feelings

Oh, I, I, I

You'll pick up your phone thinkin'

You should call me up

'Cause you're wonderin' how I've been

And you'll say you're still in love

Oh, I wish you wouldn't, 'cause you know you shouldn't

You'll say you couldn't help it, but you're really bein' selfish

So I wish you wouldn't, I wish you wouldn't

I wish you wouldn't, yeah, yeah

Say you'll never let me go

When you just hate to be alone

So, baby, can't you tell the truth?

You know it ain't me, it's you

Oh, I, I, I

If I'm bein' honest I knew better

But I liked the sound of you and me together

I should've listened when they said I'd get hurt

Oh, I, I, I

You'll pick up your phone thinkin'

You should call me up

'Cause you're wonderin' how I've been

And you'll say you're still in love

Oh, I wish you wouldn't, 'cause you know you shouldn't

You'll say you couldn't help it, but you're really bein' selfish

So I wish you wouldn't, I wish you wouldn't

I wish you wouldn't, but I wish you would

Let me let myself move on

If you're gonna go, then just stay gone

It's just like me to play along

Even though I know what's right and wrong

You'll pick up your phone thinkin'

You should call me up

'Cause you're wonderin' how I've been

And you'll say you're still in love

But, oh, I wish you wouldn't, 'cause you know you shouldn't

You'll say you couldn't help it, but you're really bein' selfish

So I wish you wouldn't, I wish you wouldn't

I wish you wouldn't
