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
