You've got me like no one has before, I really love you 

The way you talk and the things you say sound so good 

But there you were standing over there with another last night 

Now in the middle of it can't you see it's killin' me 



I had high hopes for you and me 

Thought we'd stay together eternally 

High hopes for our love 

Felt like it was heaven sent from above 



Ooh 

Just too hard to let go 



You told me you loved nobody else, you never would 

You had my child, you'd even marry me if I asked 

But now it seems more so every day that you need me less 

Now you're almost there, come around, I don't wanna let you go, oh, ho 



I had high hopes for you and me 

Thought we'd stay together eternally 

High hopes for our love 

Felt like it was heaven sent from above 



(High) This can't be 

Caught you with another and, girl, it's killin' me 

(High) You let me down 

I have to find somebody else since you won't be around 



Just need a little time, it'll be alright 



High hopes 

High hopes 



Can't you see, I want you for myself (And always will) 

We had our talk and tried to make things right, or so it seems 

But it's him for you, I guess you don't need me anymore 

Hey, I never ever come around to see you again, oh (Oh, ho) 



'Cause I had high hopes for you and me 

Thought we'd stay together eternally 

High hopes for our love 

Felt like it was heaven sent from above 



(High) Ooh, this can't be 

Caught you with another and, girl, it's killin' me 

(High) You let me down 

I have to find somebody else since you won't be around 



High hopes 

Just need a little time and I'll be alright 

High hopes 

Ooh, hoo, high, high, high 



High hopes 

It's so hard to let go 

High hopes
