[Verse 1]
I wish you wouldn't say that
I thought I'd have to come right over
I thought I made it clear enough
I guess I'll have to make it clearer
Say something to change my mind
Bring me back the way I used to be
If it takes forever, that's all right
Say the words that I've been trying to hear

[Verse 2]
I wish you didn't tell her
I thought I'd have to come right over
I thought I'd have to make it clearer
Now, Jimmy's coming over
There are places that I won't forget
And I guess I'm never going back
Guess it's information that I lack
I've told lies without hint of regret

[Chorus]
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
