I Wish I Wasn't

Heather Headley

5

I'm home alone again

And you're out hangin' with your friends

So you say

Somehow I know it's not quite that way

It's getting pretty late

And you haven't checked on me all day

When I called you didn't answer

Now I'm feelin' like you're ignorin' me

I wish that you were home

Holdin' me tight in your arms

And I wish I could go back

To the day before we met

And skip my regret

I wish I wasn't in love with you

So you couldn't hurt me

It just ain't fair the way you treat me

No, you don't deserve me

Wasted my time thinkin' 'bout you

And you ain't never gon' change

I wish I wasn't in love with you

So I wouldn't feel this way

When you touch me my heart melts

(And anything you did wrong I forgive) Yeah, yeah

So you play me and take advantage

Of the love that I feel for you

Why you wanna hurt me so bad

I believed in you that's why I'm so mad

Now I'm drowning in disappointment

And it's hard for me to even look at you

I wish that you were home, oh, yes, I do

Holdin' me tight in your arms, ooh, baby

And I wish I could go back

To the day before we met

And skip my regret

I wish I wasn't in love with you

So you couldn't hurt me (I don't wanna hurt no more)

It just ain't fair (It just ain't fair, no) the way

you treat me

No, you don't desert me (You, you)

Wasted my time thinkin' 'bout you

And you ain't never gon' change (You ain't never gonna

change)

I wish I wasn't (I wasn't in love) in love with you

So I wouldn't feel this way (I wouldn't feel this way)

Said you care about me, but from what I see

I ain't feelin' that, so I disagree

Gave you all my love and understanding

And you treated me like your enemy

So leave me alone, don't bother to follow me

Now just go back where you came from

This house is no longer your home

You are not welcome no, no, no more, no more

I wish I wasn't in love with you

So you couldn't hurt me (You couldn't hurt me, baby)

It just ain't fair (It just ain't fair) the way you

treat me (The way you treat me)

No, you don't deserve me (You don't deserve me, baby)

Wasted my time (Oh, oh) thinkin' 'bout you (Thinkin'

about you)

And you ain't never gon' change (You're never gonna

change, never gonna change)

I wish I wasn't in love with you

So I wouldn't feel this way

I wish I wasn't in love with you

So you couldn't hurt me (You couldn't hurt me this

bad)

It just ain't fair (It ain't fair) the way you treat

me (No, it ain't fair)

No, you don't deserve me (You don't deserve me, my

love)

Wasted my time (Ooh) thinkin' 'bout you (Thinkin'

about you)

And you ain't never gon' change (You ain't gonna never

change)

I wish I wasn't (Wasn't) in love with you (In love

with you)

So I wouldn't feel this way

Hear you knockin' at the door again

I'm wonderin' should I let you in

I open up the door and see

The flowers for me, so beautiful in your hand

You start beggin' me to take you back

I've always been a sucker for romance

And before you know it I could see it, you're all over

me

Oh, no, here I go again

I wish I wasn't in love with you

So you couldn't hurt me
