I Wish
Omarion · O [the Album] [2005]
(Corner Boyz, This feel real good right here man, It's a good look)
I ain't mad at chu, sometimes I wish I didn't know ya but I'm glad I do (Omarion, T.U.G)
(I-I, I-I) I ain't mad at chu, sometimes I wish I didn't know ya but I'm glad I do
(I-I) I ain't mad at chu, sometimes I wish I didn't know ya but I'm glad I do
[Verse 1- Omarion]
I shoulda, known I'd (known I'd)
Fall in love witcha game, guess I had it comin
Now I, can't escape what I'm feelin inside, so ain't no use of runnin
But (oh no)
I don't know if you feel me the same, you gatta tell me somethin (gatta tell me somethin)
Cuz I don't wanna be in love with a gurl who's way to busy frontin
I wanna go back to when
To when you were just a friend
No complications
Never abracin when I see you baby
But it ain't the same cuz now
I can't resist ya smile
U got me buggin
I'm caught up in lovin
And I know it's crazy but
[Chorus 2x]
I-I, I wish I didn't love you
I-I, I wish I didn't love you
I-I, I wish I didn't love you
Like I do
[Verse 2]
Baby, sometimes
I try to act like it ain't what it is
But girl I gotta face it
Cuz I (cuz I)
Luv u all of the time that we share
And I don't wanna waste it (I won't even waste it babe)
You got a hold on me that I can't change
So I won't even fight it (I won't even fight it)
Girl u keep a smile on my face
And I be so excited
I wanna go back to when
To when you were just a friend
No complications
Never abracin when I see you baby
But it ain't the same cuz now
I can't resist ya smile
U got me buggin
I'm caught up in lovin
And I know it's crazy but
[Chorus 2x]
I-I, I wish I didn't love you
I-I, I wish I didn't love you
I-I, I wish I didn't love you

[Bridge 2x]
If lovin u is wrong
Then I ain't right
Cuz I can't leave u alone

So never leave
