A car goes by and I see a face A stranger's face in the window And I wish it wasn't you I'm in a room, it's a crowded room A friend walks up to say hello And I wish it wasn't you 'Cause every moment that haunts my mind Is just another reason why Chorus (I wish it wasn't you) The phone rings in the middle of the night The doorbell in the broad daylight A lettter in the mail that I come home to (I wish it wasn't you) When I see two people on the street Touchin'like they don't care who sees Laughin' the way we used to do I wish it was me and I wish it was you I wish it was me and I wish it was you I'll meet someone who could be the one But something always happens Before the night is through There's that old familiar pattern And I wish it wasn't you telling me that you'll be back someday And I don't have to feel this way Repeat Chorus Twice I wish it wasn't you I wish it wasn't you
