For Betty and Irving
In those years, girls used to play hard to get
Meaning, they sort of kept their emotions within
I didn't want him to see that I'm going there just to meet him
But actually, I was really going there to see if he would walk by again
But I played a little hard to get
So, I went shopping
It must have been 45 minutes
And when I came back, lo and behold
My mother says to me, "A young man of the name Irving called"
I said, "Ah ha! My trick worked"
You see I didn't go? Played hard to get, he called
And he asked me out for a date
People were very formal in those years
So we made a date to go out that weekend
And I couldn't believe it, he took me to a Broadway show
I always thought that maybe some girl turned him down
And that's how he got an extra ticket
But it turned out, that wasn't the case
Meaning, they sort of kept their emotions within
I didn't want him to see that I'm going there just to meet him
But actually, I was really going there to see if he would walk by again
But I played a little hard to get
So, I went shopping
It must have been 45 minutes
And when I came back, lo and behold
My mother says to me, "A young man of the name Irving called"
I said, "Ah ha! My trick worked"
You see I didn't go? Played hard to get, he called
And he asked me out for a date
People were very formal in those years
So we made a date to go out that weekend
And I couldn't believe it, he took me to a Broadway show
I always thought that maybe some girl turned him down
And that's how he got an extra ticket
But it turned out, that wasn't the case
