Dusty Springfield - Wishin' And Hopin' Lyrics
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
Hold him and kiss him and love him
And show him that you care
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 hopin'
Plannin' and dreamin' his kiss is the start
That won't get you into his heart
So if you're thinkin' how great true love is
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 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 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' how great true love is
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

Dusty Springfield Wishin' And Hopin' Comments
Richard Carpenter worked with her after Karen Carpenter died.
Listen ladies
Actually came here after American Horror Story!
This was my grandma's favorite song, at her memorial her family had the nerve to act like they knew her, when in reality all they wanted was her money, they didnt care about her until she was dead. Her brother said she didn't like music. It's been 7 years since she passed, but I know for a fact that she loved this song💕
the summer of '64. I'm fifteen, flat on my back after orthopedic surgery in NYC. On my little radio I heard it a 1000 times and to this day I still love it!!
This song belongs to Dusty Springfield and Dusty alone.
RIP Dusty ,, in Heaven with all the angels as they sing,,,
Catchy. I like that song.
Wishing, and hoping...
My best friends wedding brought me here
She was one of a kind what a God given voice, so beautiful. Like so many before and after you gone way before we wanted
Missing you💕
I can't believe they didn't mention "Wishin and Hopin". That was my favorite song by Dusty!
The way to a man's heart is not through his stomach.
With good songs there is often an association with me. At "Wishin And Hopin" my pretty teacher from that time shows up when I asked myself: Why am I not older - at least as old as this teacher? Then I would speak to her. Unfortunately, this teacher did not find out about my love and so this title got its own special meaning for me then and now.
Dusty Springfield- what an easy voice with range. opened for the Beatles on tour. Again, one of life's mysteries; why was she taken from us so soon?
Never cease to be astonished by her vocal control.
OH PLEASE KEEP ON U TUBE.
WHAT A WONDERFUL LADY.

"Deseando y esperando" bonita canción que dice entre otras cosas que si hacemos lo que dice le título, nunca alcanzaremos a nadie. Debemos mostrarle que amamos a la otra persona y decírselo y entonces todo comenzará a suceder. Hay tiempo para soñar pero llega el momento en que debemos actuar o nos quedaremos solos como dice la canción.
this is my favorite song that she ever recorded....this is the song that I remember her for.
One of those great songs of my youth. I like how Dusty sings it with that talent and charisma she had. The song is catchy and very well played and sung. One of my favorites through the years through the original was by Dionne Warwick as far as I remember.
I think she was way before Dionne Warwick?????
It makes me feel like a 5th grader again, a beautiful era for good music. still listening 2019
Unforgetable song..
This certainly was a time when music was really good.
ditto on all comments,, luv this music
this song seems to have two choruses
We had this album. I should have listened closer...then I would have run rabbit run...
Rip greatness Amen 🇵🇷🇺🇸🙏🏻.
la interpreto viany valdez en español
Esta gran cantante no solo era excepcionalmente buena sino una belleza también. Su voz angelical y tan agradable hace que todas sus canciones den gusto escucharlas. Cantaba con tanto sentimiento que lo conmueve a uno. Y tantos años después es todavía una gran canción que vale la pena escuchar.
Another of Dusty's great songs although it was sung first by Dionne Warwick as far as I remember. But Dusty had such a voice every song she sang sounded great. She sang with feeling and one feels it as one hears and enjoys this beautiful song.
Jorge, you are correct. Dionne did record the song originally, and it was her version - on her debut album - which inspired Dusty to record it.
@Rene LeClerc Thanks Rene this song has been one of my favorites since I first hear it in 1964. And 55 years later it is still a delightful song to hear. Regards and have a nice day.
@Jorge Mario Rodas, have you heard Jody Miller's performance (in Italian) of "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" at the San Remo Music Festival? It was that performance which inspired Dusty to record her English version of the song.
THE BEST 60,S FEMALESINGER I HAVE HEARD.
This really the only good song by her I know of by her. “Preacher Man” not much. “The Look of Love”, “You Don’t Have to Say I Love You” outright BAD.
Dusty Springfield also sang and starred in a late 1960s spot for Mother's Pride bread.
Malcolm in themiddle brought me here
Miss you Dusty Rip 😭💐
Sublime!!!
I think Petula Clarke, Helen Shapiro and Dusty Springfield were the top 3 female singers in uk in the 60's.
great and she was a carpet mucher. and later recorded in nashville tn.

Dusty 100 carat gold plated class. Her brilliance will still be appreciated a hundred yrs from now. Class spelt Dusty
So much greater than Adele.
Much more feeling; texture, tonal quality, and nuance, I agree.
This song reminds me when I used to go to the cornerstore with my #1 gal. We used to get bottles of pop and hold hands. It was 1965 and she was a handfull.
Malcolm in the Middle
