"Wishful Thinking" lyrics

"Wishful Thinking"

I don't believe in love, dear
Least not the kind you've got to find
I'd see it everywhere I look, dear
If only I looked at it right
Some people call it magic
An everlasting wind
And others say it's tragic
Once you love and can never love again

Oh, do those people on the movie screen make you crazy?
Oh, you spend every night just thinking ‘bout it, don't you, baby?
'Cause if you're looking for the kind of love, the kind of love that feels just right
I hate to break it to you, babe, but you're just wasting all your time

Oh, darling, can you tell me
What all you've got to say?
You said we can't go back now
No, it doesn't work that way
But is it wishful thinking
That makes us think the way we do?
When we rely on someone else's love
To be the thing that gets us through

Oh, do those people on the movie screen make you crazy?
Oh, you spend every night just thinking ‘bout it, don't you, baby?
'Cause if you're looking for the kind of love, the kind of love that feels just right
I hate to break it to you, babe, but you're just wasting all your time

Remember when I said I loved you
While you were making up your mind?
'Cause I was never yours, dear
And you were never mine
No, you were never mine
No, you were never mine
No, you were never mine
No, you were never mine, oh, no
No, you were never mine
