I Wish You Would
Sweet · Identity Crisis [1982]
'bout the break of day
That's when my baby went away
Come back baby I wish you would
There's crying and the feeling won't do no good
I tell you now baby I feel just right
Tell me now baby what you're trying to do
'Cause I love me and some other man too
Come on now baby give me one more chance
You know I still love you wanna give you romance
Give you romance ooh
All night long, in my arms
Oooh yeah
Early in the morning
'bout the break of day
That's when my baby went away
Come back baby I wish you would
There's crying and the feeling won't do no good
You know baby I love you so
You know pretty baby
It hurts me to see you go
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!
I Wish You Would

During this era, the group navigated a shift in their musical identity, moving away from the hard-hitting glam rock that defined their earlier commercial success. This recording captures the band's continued exploration of melodic structures and vocal harmonies that characterized their mid-career output. As part of a broader catalogue of work that includes hits like Fox On The Run and Love Is Like Oxygen, the track reflects the group's enduring ability to craft accessible rock anthems. The song remains a testament to their versatility, showcasing the polished production and energetic performance style that kept them relevant throughout the early 1980s.
