I Was Hoping You’d Say That

You were a flash of white riding past on a bike
Your sunglasses a long streak of black
I called out ‘Hello’, you said ‘Hello yourself’
I was hoping you’d say that

You stopped up the block at a cafe I knew
Outside at a table you sat
I said ‘Can I join you?’ You said ‘If you like’
I was hoping you’d say that

I was hoping you’d say that
I was hoping you would
I was hoping you’d say that
When you did it did me good

I gave you my number, you gave me yours
I called you then you called me back
I said ‘You like the movies?’ You said ‘Sure I do’
I was hoping you’d say that

The movie was dumb, the plot was a joke
The hero was caught in a trap
When he made his big stand you grabbed hold of my hand
I was hoping you’d do that

I was hoping you’d do that
I was hoping you would
I was hoping you’d do that
When you did, it felt pretty good

After the film I drove you home
We talked for a minute on your step
You said ‘Would you like to come in for a while?’
I was hoping you’d say that

You put on some music and rolled up a smoke
I started to feel relaxed
You said ‘Do you feel like lying down?’
I was hoping you’d say that
I was hoping you’d say that
I was hoping you’d say that
