(Carole Bayer Sager/Peter Allen)

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
