Wishful Thinking Songtext
von Smokey Robinson & The Miracles

(Wishful thinking)
(What you′re doing)
(Wishful thinking)
(What you're doing)

(Ooh) ooh I recall the time when all of her love belonged to you
For the sake of havin′ you near, there was nothin' that she wouldn't do

And now you′re mind is in a state of confusion (confusion)
So if you think she′s coming back, It's just an illusion

It′s wishful thinking
Ah, that's what you′re doin' right now (it′s what you're doing)
Ah, wishful thinking
Hoping she'll come back to you somehow (it′s what you′re doing)
But you don't know (all of her love belongs to me)
You don′t know (all of her love belongs to me)
Uh-huh

I can see
All your hopes and dreams, have faded away since she's been gone, ah
But love remains in your heart, so you just keep banging on


You keep telling yourself that the telephone did ring
But you might as well hang it up, cause you′ve had your final fling

And it's wishful thinking
Ah, that′s what you're doin' right now (it′s what you′re doing)
I said you're, wishful thinking
Hoping she′ll come back to you somehow (it's what you′re doing)
But you don't know (all of her love belongs to me)
I say you don′t know (all of her love belongs to me)

(The girl's on your mind)
(All the time)
(The girl's on your mind)
(All the time)

(Ooh) ooh now you know her love was something you just couldn′t push aside
When she walked away from you, she also took your pride

So you search your mind to think of a reason (the reason)
But the day she wanted you, you had a love for every season


So it′s wishful thinking
Ah, hoping and prayin' right now (it′s what you're doing)
I said you′re, wishful thinking
Hoping she'll come back to you somehow (it′s what you're doing)
But you don't know ah (all of her love belongs to me)
You don′t know, ooh (all of her love belongs to me)

Wishful thinking
Hoping she′ll come back to you somehow (it's what you′re doing)
I said you're, wishful thinking
Cause don′t you know she's mine right now (it′s what you're doing)
And you're just wishing (wishful thinking)
Hoping, praying (it′s what you′re doing)
Dreaming, wanting (wishful thinking)
Needin', plannin′ (it's what you′re doing)
Schemin'

Wishful thinking
Ah, you know she′s mine right now (it's what you're doing)
I said you′re, wishful thinking
Ain′t get her back, no way, no how (It's what you′re doing)
I said you're wishful thinking
