Wouldn't You Think (Should've Been Here by Now)

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
