Don't Wish Too Hard Songtext
von Carole Bayer Sager

Mm hmm
Mm hmm
Ooh, yeah

Don′t wish too hard for what you want
Or then you might get it
And then when you get it
You might find you didn't want it at all

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

Ooh, how I wished for you and now you're here (do you really mean it? do you really mean it?)
Now I wish that you would disappear (oh no, no, no, no)
And go away

My poor heart′s repeatin′
It can't stand the beatin′
That it's been takin′ (ooh, ooh)
I can tell when you're fakin′ (ooh-ooh ooh)
Every time you're makin' love to me


One day soon I′m gonna change my tune and
Without hesitatin′ (bye bye baby)
I'll be leavin′ you waitin' (so long, darlin′, you'll be)
Waitin′ at the gate for me

Then you'll wish for me and I won't be here (oh, how I wish, I really wish)
So long, darlin′ (no)
I′ll just disappear (no, no, no, no)
And go away

I wish you'd change your mind, ooh (don′t wish, don't wish)
(Don′t wish, don't wish)
Don′t leave me, baby
(Don't wish, don't wish)

I wish, I wish you′d change your mind
Oh, don′t leave me, baby (don't wish too hard)
(′Cause it's bye bye baby)
(do-do do, do-do do, do-do oh)
I wish you′d change your mind

Oh, how I wished for you and now you're here (do you really mean this? do you really mean it?)
Now I wish that you would disappear (no, no, baby, no)
And go away


Oh, don′t wish too hard for what you want
Or then you might get it
And then when you get it
You might find you didn't want it at all

And don't go lookin′ for love to come
Or then it might find you
And then when it finds you
You′ll find what you really wanted (ooh)
And what you really wished for (ooh-ooh)
You never really wanted at all (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

Don't, don′t, don't
Don′t wish too hard
(Don't wish too hard)
And don′t go lookin'
(Don't go lookin′)

No, don′t wish too hard
(Don't wish too hard)
And don′t go lookin'
(Don′t go lookin')

I said don′t wish too hard
(Don't wish too hard)
And don't go lookin′
(Don′t go lookin')

Keep on wishin′, baby (don't wish, don′t wish)
Don't go
Oh, I′m wishin', baby, I'm wishin′ (don′t wish, don't wish)

Oh, I′m wishin' for you, baby (don′t wish, don't wish)
Oh, I′m wishin' for you, baby
And I'm wishin′, oh, I′m wishin', baby (don′t wish, don't wish)

Girl, hey
I′m wishin' for you, baby (don′t wish, don't wish)
Oh, I'm wishin′ for you, baby
I′m wishin' for you, baby (don′t wish, don't wish)

Lord, I′m wishin' for you, baby (don′t wish, don't wish)
Lord, I'm wishin′ for my baby
Oh, I′m wishin', yes, I′m wishin' (don′t wish, don't wish)

Gonna keep on wishin′ for you, baby, gonna keep on (don't wish, don't wish)
Gonna keep on, gonna keep on
Wishin′ for you, baby, mm (don′t wish, don't wish)
