Hopeless Romantic

They call me a hopeless romantic They call me a hopeless girl But I have to tell them That loving is my only hope in this world I have to leave him I have to be strong But if I play my cards right I know you'll come along I have to leave him I have to be strong But if I play my cards right I know you'll come along They say I'm a dreamer with an absent mind They say I'm a girl in despair But I have to tell them That this girl is what every man's heart fears I have to leave him I have to stay strong But if I play my cards right I know you'll come along I have to leave him I have to stay strong But if I play my cards right I know you'll come along Come along They tell me that I have to be on my own They tell me it'd be good for me But I have to tell them that I don't need to be alone to be free I had to leave him I had to be strong But if I played my cards right Why are you gone I guess I played my cards right And loving you was wrong
