Hopeless Romantic

(album: No Easy Way Out - 1986)

He gets his share of pain and passion
He's got a hasty heart
He's looking for some secret reaction
That's gonna tear his soul apart

He's such a lovesick Romeo
He's such a twisted child
Living inside his own illusion
It's such a complicated style

You see it on his face
He's somewhere out in space
When is he gonna come down

Everybody knows, he's a hopeless romantic
Leave him alone, better let him be
Everybody knows, he's a hopeless romantic
Nobody knows that better than me
Nobody

He likes a kiss with lots of fire
He likes a rude romance
He's got a knack for pure deception
A victim of his circumstance

Moving like a slow train
Running through a hurricane
Never a moment of peace

Everybody knows, he's a hopeless romantic
Leave him alone, better let him be
Everybody knows, he's a hopeless romantic
Nobody knows that better than me

It's just another night feeling like you're being crucified
It's just another night I'm on the edge knowing I can't be satisfied, yeah

Moving like a slow train
Running through a hurricane
Never a moment of peace

Everybody knows, he's a hopeless romantic
Leave him alone, better let him be
Everybody knows, he's a hopeless romantic
Nobody knows that better than me

Everybody knows, he's a hopeless romantic
Everybody knows, better let him be
Everybody knows, he's a hopeless romantic
Nobody knows that better than me
Nobody

Everybody knows, he's a hopeless romantic
Leave him alone, better let him be
Everybody knows, he's a hopeless romantic
Nobody knows that better than me

Everybody knows, he's a hopeless romantic
Leave him alone
