Full lyrics to Today's Song of The Day
Wishin And Hopin by the Merseybeats

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
