Merseybeats- Wishin' and hopin' (Lyrics)

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

So if you're lookin' to find love, you can share
All you gotta do is
Hold her and kiss her and love her
And show her that you care-are

Show her that you care just for her
Do the things she likes to do
Wear your hair just for her
'Cau-ause, you won't get her
Thinkin' and a-prayin'
Wishin' and a-hopin'

'Cause wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' her kisses will star-art
That won't get you into her heart

So if you're thinkin' how great true love is
All you gotta do is
Hold her and kiss her and squeeze her
And show her that you care-are

You gotta show her that you care just for her
Do the things she likes to do
Wear your hair just for her
'Cau-ause, you won't get her
Thinkin' and a-prayin'
Wishin' and a-hopin'

'Cause wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' her kisses will start
That won't get you into her heart

So if you're thinkin' how great true love-ove is
All you gotta do is
Hold her and kiss her and squeeze her and love her
Yeah, just do it and after you do, you will be hers
You will be hers
You will be her-ers

takes me back to the days when we used to strip motor bike engines down on mothers kitchen table, clean the carb with petrol and re asemble all before she came home .

Nice twist on a classic....a man singing it to a woman. Didn't really care for the music, but I was raised on the Dusty Springfield version, so nothing is ever going to sound better. Liked the singing though.
