  • 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

    Oh
    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, oh

    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, oh)

    '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
    Oh, oh, high, high, high

    High hopes
    It's so hard to let go
