Discover the story of the song > Wishin’ And Hopin’ – Dusty Springfield

The song is about a woman who wants to be in a relationship with a man she likes. She spends a lot of time thinking and hoping and praying for him to like her back, but that won't be enough to make him love her. Instead, she needs to show him that she cares by doing things he likes, like wearing her hair a certain way and spending time with him. If she does this, she will win his heart and be his girlfriend.
