I wake up to the thought of you and I call your name No one ever made me feel the way you do Nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you But now I've got to let go
We don't stand a chance In this wild romance, my tender heart Maybe it's wiser to walk away and love again With my tender heart. We don't stand a chance In this wild romance, oh it hurts so bad Knowing that I'm not the one you want I can't hold on to my tender heart
I never thought I'd be the one who would play the fool But I know love can feel so good and can be so cruel It's clear to me the writing is on the wall It's clear to me that you don't really love me at all And I can't go on this way
We don't stand a chance In this wild romance, my tender heart Maybe it's wiser to walk away and love again With my tender heart. We don't stand a chance In this wild romance, oh it hurts so bad Knowing that I'm not the one you want I can't hold on to my tender heart
I'm standing at the door Don't need this hurt no more I'm crying out in vain Cause you don't feel my pain.
Maybe it was always going to be this way Maybe I'll look back and understand some day But now I've got to say We don't stand a chance In this wild romance, my tender heart Maybe it's wiser to walk away and love again With my tender heart. We don't stand a chance In this wild romance, oh it hurts so bad Knowing that I'm not the one you want I can't hold on to my tender heart My tender heart
