Double Thinks

I wonder what she meant when she said "yes" like that
It was the way she said it
"Yes" she said
Not "yes" but "yeees"
I wonder if she meant "no"
Hmm

I should have asked her what she meant
That's what I should have done
That would have finished her off wouldn't it
I bet she's been going around for years saying "yeees"
Just like that
Driving people nearly bonkers
Getting away with it
Ooh I wish I had asked her
I didn't think of it

Mind you
If she said "maybe" I wouldn't have minded so much
And I mean at least it's honest innit
A person says "maybe" and you're on their side
You warm to them
But not when they say "yeees"
Puts you back up
Well it's only natural I suppose really

Here

I wonder if she did it on purpose

I bet she did
Probably at this very minute she's sitting there glorying in it
Well I'm not having that
I'm gonna ring her up and I'm gonna tell her
"Look here" I'll say
"If you can't do better than that dolly
You better stay at home and watch the telly"
That'll shake her
Yeah
Yeah I'll ring her

Mmm

No I won't
Well why should I
It's exactly what she wants
I expect she's sitting on top of that phone like a broody hen
Well I'm not ringing her
She can wait
Do her good

On the other hand
Last time she said "yes"
She meant "yes"
Oh
Course that was at Margate
Sea air might have had something to do with it
There's not much sea air in Hammersmith tube station
Yeah and at Margate I seem to think she said "oh yes"
Yeah yeah she did yeah
Mmm

I know
I'll ring her and I'll not mention it
You know then she'll have to
Yeah but supposing she doesn't
Well no she's bound to isn't she
No, she might not
Well then I'll
I'll say um
Um

No
No it's too risky innit
Yeah

Here

Here wait a minute look
Suppose I pretend not to have noticed eh
Yeah yeah yeah that's it yeah
Then she'll never know whether I knew
Unless she asks
Yeah that's the way to play it innit
Dead casual
Keep her in suspense a bit
Yeah

That'll just about do the trick I think
Marvellous marvellous

I wonder what she meant when she said "yes" like that
