Don't Wish Too Hard

Carole Bayer Sager


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' far love to come 
Or then it might find you
And then when it finds you
You might wish that you had never been born 

Oh how I wished for you and now you're here 
Now I wish that you would disappear
And go away

My poor heart's repeatin' 
It can't stand the beatin' 
That it's been takin'
I can't tell if you're fakin'
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 
Waiting at the gate for me 
Then you'll wish for me and I won't be here 
So long darlin' 
I'll just disappear 
And go away 

Oh how I wished for you and now you're here 
Now I wish that you would disappear
And go away
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 and what you really wished for 
You never really wanted at all
