Queen Of Wishful Thinking

I think that anyone who is a fan of the Julia Roberts movie Pretty Woman will remember this song from the soundtrack: King of Wishful Thinking by Go West. The soundtrack is amazing, and other than It Must Have Been Love by Roxette, King of Wishful Thinking is my favorite song from the movie. I had the sudden urge to hear it today as I was driving home from the park where Kenni and I enjoyed a couple hours walking the path and enjoying the sunshine and beautiful weather. Luckily, the Pretty Woman soundtrack is on my ipod, and I never leave the house without that shiney green musical device! I listened to the song over and over on the 35 minute drive home, really relating to the lyrics. Long story short, I fell in love, it didn't work out. Someday I will get over it.

King of Wishful Thinking

I don't need to fall at your feet
Just 'cause you cut me to the bone
And I won't miss the way that you kiss me
We were never carved in stone

If I don't listen to the talk of the town
Maybe I can fool myself
I'll get over you I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking
(King of wishful thinking)
I m the king of wishful thinking

I refuse to give into my blues
That's not how it's gonna be
And I deny the tears in my eyes
I don't want to let you see

Now that you have made a hole in my heart
And now I've got to fool myself
I'll get over you I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking

I'll get over you I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking
(King of wishful thinking)

If I ever get a chance I'll get over you
(I know I will)

If I don't listen to the talk of the town
Maybe I can fool myself
I'll get over you I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you (I'm over you)
'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking
(King of wishful thinking)
I am the king of wishful thinking

I'll get over you I know I will
You made a hole in my heart
But I won't shed a tear for you
I'll be the king of wishful thinking
I'll get over you I know I will
I'll pretend my heart's still beating
'Cause I've got no more tears for you
I'm the king of wishful thinking
I'll get over you I know I will
You made a hole in my heart
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking
