Wouldn't You Think (Should've Been Here by Now) - Delbert McClinton, Dick50, Dick51

Sittin' in our favorite restaurant

Trying hard not to watch the clock

Any minute now she’s gonna walk, right in

She said she may be just a little late

She said she had somebody’s heart to break

And I promised her that I would wait, right here

Tonight’s the night we’ve been waiting for

We’ve got it all planned out

But wouldn’t you think

She would’ve been here by now?

The bartender he’s looking at me

With a certain bit of sympathy

Something tells me that he’s seen this scene, before

There sad and lonely stood a man

Another one too many in his hand

Checking his watch, and staring, at the door

Tonight’s the night we’ve been waiting for

She won’t let me down

But wouldn’t you think

She would’ve been here by now?

Tonight’s the night we’ve been waiting for

She won’t let me down

But wouldn’t you think

She would’ve been here by now?

Is she running just a little late?

Or has my time run out?

But wouldn’t you think

She would’ve been here by now?

She would’ve been here…

She should’ve been here, by now
