'King of wishful thinking' Words and music by Peter Cox Richard Drummie and Martin Page Verse 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 Chorus I'll get over you, I know I will I'll pretend my ships not sink-ing And I'll tell mysef, I'm over you / / / Cause I'm the King of wishful thinking ----------------------- I am the King of wishful thinking Verse 2 I refuse to give in to my blues That's not how its gonna be And I deny the tears in my eyes I don't want to let you see - no That you have made a hole in my heart And now I've got to fool myself And I'll get over you, I know I will I'll pretend my ships not sink-ing And I'll tell mysef, 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 ships not sink-ing And I'll tell mysef, I'm over you Cause I'm the King of wishful thinking I will never never shed a tear for you I'll get over you------------------------ If I don't listen to the talk of the town Then maybe I can fool myself I'll get over you, I know I will I'll pretend my ships not sink-ing And I'll tell mysef, I'm over you Cause I'm the King of wishful thinking I'm 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'm the King of wishful thinking I'll get over you I'll pretend my hearts still beating Cause I've got no more tears for you I'm the King of wishful thinking Repeat ad lib and fade
