Lyrics
'Wish I hadn't seen you leave the house last night.
'Wish I hadn't heard you sneakin' back before the light.

'Wish I could pretend you don't linger in my mind.
Well, I can't put out this fire. Burns just like a funeral pyre.
Well, I wish you'll have to go.
Somehow, I wish I didn't know.
'Wish I didn't know what you been doin'.
'Wish I didn't know who you been.....
