The Romantic

[Verse 1:]
I have romanticized every little thing that you've said to me
I didn't mean it, it just happens when you have an overactive imagination

I've seen you in my dreams, and it's so vivid that I swear it seems like it really happened
And I'm shocked when you don't sweep me off my feet in the morning
(Sweep me off my feet, sweep me off my feet)

[Chorus:]
Oh, I just want someone to hold my hand
And tell me I'm pretty and I'm sweet and I'm kind
But I don't expect you to understand
I'm just saying what's on my mind
And I've been told it's hard for people like me to find someone who'll love me unconditionally
But there must be someone out there

[Verse 2:]
I keep asking why
Why'd it have to be me, the romantic
I'm sorry I just like you
And your eyes are telling me it goes both ways (ways, ways)

I'm not asking much
Though I already know that I am loved
It's hard to believe I'm anything
When you don't say I am

[Chorus:]
'Cause I just want someone to hold my hand
And tell me I'm pretty and I'm sweet and I'm kind
But I don't expect you to understand
I'm just saying what's on my mind
And I've been told it's hard for people like me to find someone who'll love me unconditionally
But there must be someone out there

[Bridge:]
I am too deeply obsessed with having the perfect love
With roses and candles and starlight and you
But will it ever be enough? No
I am too deeply obsessed with having the perfect love
With roses and candles and starlight and you
But it'll never be enough
It's never enough

[Chorus:]
I just want someone to hold my hand
And tell me I'm pretty and I'm sweet and I'm kind
But I don't expect you to understand
I'm just saying what's on my mind
And I've been told it's hard for people like me to find someone who'll love me unconditionally
(Try)
But there must be someone out there
Oh, there must be someone out there
