I Wish You Would Lyrics

[Chorus]
Early in the morning, about the break of day
That is when my baby went away
Come back, baby, I wish you would
Try and love me, you will not do no good

[Verse]
Walking and kissing late at night
I tell you now baby, I feel just right
Come now baby, what you trying to do?
Trying to love me and some other man, too

Come now baby, give me one more chance
You know I still love you, want to give you romance
Yeah romance, all night long, in my arms, whoa yeah

[Chorus]

[Outro]
You know, baby, that I love you so
You know, pretty baby, it hurts me to see you go
Oh yeah, oh yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
