Travelling in the car, on a day trip back from the zoo
I thought we'd stop off at a lay-by and see what we can do
I made a suggestion as we walked the short path up the hill
Turns out, I thought he might, but I very much doubt that he will
Sitting in the cinema, in a side row way up back
As the lights went down and the film began, I thought it might be a good craic
To ask him for favour, as we both sat there and chilled
Turns out, I thought he might, but I very much doubt that he will
It's funny how people react to the slightest thing
A chance remark, to relight the spark, to see what luck will bring
When life's on a downward run, with no end in sight
You'd think a kick might do the trick, to make them see the light
Sitting in the waiting room, at the solicitor's here in town
I make one last roll of the dice to see how it goes down
You say it's not the time or place, even though there's time to kill
Turns out, I thought he might, but I very much doubt that he will
Living in purgatory, fearing being left on the shelf
Deciding all things considered, you're better off doing it yourself
It's funny how people react to the slightest thing
A chance remark, to relight the spark, to see what luck will bring
When life's on a downward run, with no end in sight
You'd think a kick might do the trick, to make them see the light
Yes, I thought he might, I thought he might, but I very much doubt that he will
Thought he might, thought he might, but I very much doubt that he will
