Don't Wish Too Hard

(album: I Could Have Been A Sailor - 1979)

Don't wish too hard for what you want
Or then you might get it
And then when you get it
Then you might wish you never got it all

And don't go looking for love to come
Or then it might find you
(Then it might find you)
And then when it finds you
Then you might wish that you had never been born

How I wished for you and now you're here
Now I wish that I could disappear and go away

Oh baby, my poor heart's repeating, it can't stand the beating
That it's been taking
I can't tell if you're faking
Every time you're making love to me

One day soon, I'm gonna change my tune
And without hesitating
I'll be leaving you waiting

And you'll find that what you really wanted
And what you end up getting
You never really wanted at all

Oh baby, how you'll wish for me and I won't be there
So long darling, I'll just disappear and go away

Wish too hard, don't wish too hard
Don't wish too hard

You'll find, what you really wanted
And what you end up getting
You never really wanted at all

How I wished for you and now you're here
Now I wish that I could disappear and go away

Don't, don't wish too hard
(Wish too hard)
Don't, don't keep looking
Don't wish too hard, don't keep looking
Don't wish too hard for love to come

And then you'll find, what you really wanted
And what you end up getting
You never really wanted at all
(Don't wish too hard)

Don't wish too hard, don't wish too hard
Don't wish too hard, don't wish too hard
Don't wish too hard
