"Wish You Wouldn't" lyrics

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
