Wishin and Hopin' Lesson

WISHIN’ and HOPIN’ by Bert Bacharach sung by Petula Clark

1. Wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' each night of his charms
That won't get you into his arms.

So if you're lookin' to find love you can share
All you gotta do is [All you have to do is. . .]
Hold him and kiss him and love him
And show him that you care.

CHORUS
[You gotta] Show him that you care just for him
Do the things he likes to do
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause
You won't get him
Thinkin' and a-prayin'
Wishin' and a-hopin'.

Just wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' his kiss is the start
That won't get you into his heart.

So if you're thinkin' of havin' great true lovin'
All you gotta do is
Hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him
Yeah, just do it and after you do, you will be his.
You will be his.
You will be his.

CHORUS
So if you're thinkin' of havin' great true lovin'
All you gotta do is
Hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him
Yeah, just do it and after you do, you will be his
You will be his.

No more wishin' and hopin'
