"Wishful Thinking" lyrics

"Wishful Thinking"

(Wishful thinking)
(What you're doing)
(Wishful thinking)
(What you're doing)
(Ooh) Ooh

I recall the time when all of her love belonged to you
For the sake of having you near, there was nothing that she wouldn't do

And now your mind is in a state of confusion (Confusion)
So if you think she's coming back, it's just an illusion

It's wishful thinking, ah
That's what you're doin' right now (It's what you're doin')
Ah, wishful thinking, oh
That she'll come back to you somehow (It's what you're doin')
But you don't know (All of her love belongs to me)
You don't know (All of her love belongs to me)
Uh-huh, I can see

All your hopes and dreams have faded away since she's been gone
But love remains in your heart, so you just keep hanging on

You keep telling yourself that the telephone will ring (Ring, ring)
But you might as well hang it up, 'cause you've had your final fling (Final fling)

And it's wishful thinking, ah
That's what you're doin' right now (It's what you're doin')
I said, you're wishful thinking
Hopin' she'll come back to you somehow (It's what you're doin')
But you don't know (All of her love belongs to me)
I say, you don't know (All of her love belongs to me)

(The girl's on your mind)
(All the time)
(The girl's on your mind)
(All the time)
(Ooh) Ooh

Now you know her love is something you just couldn't push aside
When she walked away from you, she also took your pride

So you search your mind to think of a reason (The reason)
But the day she wanted you, you had a lover every season (Every season)

So it's wishful thinking, ah
Hopin' and prayin' right now (It's what you're doin')
I said, you're wishful thinking
Hopin' she'll come back to you somehow (It's what you're doin')
But you don't know (All of her love belongs to me)
Ah, you don't know, ooh (All of her love belongs to me)
Wishful thinking
Hopin' she'll come back to you somehow (It's what you're doin')
I said, you're wishful thinking
'Cause don't you know she's mine right now? (It's what you're doin')

And you're just wishin', hopin' (Wishful thinking)
Prayin', dreamin' (It's what you're doin')
Wantin', needin' (Wishful thinking)
Plannin', schemin' (It's what you're doin')
Wishful thinking
Ah, you know she's mine right now (It's what you're doin')
I said, you're wishful thinking
Ain't get her back, no way, no how (It's what you're doin')
I said, you're wishful thinking
