'Cause I'm a hopeless romantic When I should run for my life You got me on my knees, you got me crawling Love is always better when you're falling Everything is dangerous when it's just the two of us Jumping in over our heads I'm never satisfied I never wanna close my eyes Now I can't sleep at night No, I am never sleeping 'Cause I'm a hopeless romantic When I should run for my life Honey, I don't understand it 'Cause it's magic, but it's tragic I know you're gonna eat me alive You're gonna eat me alive Underneath the sheets, I feel so wanted You're the mystery that I am solving Everything is dangerous when it's just the two of us Jumping in over our heads Now I toss and turn Now, I only toss and turn But will I ever learn? Boy, I never listen 'Cause I'm a hopeless romantic When I should run for my life Honey, I don't understand it 'Cause it's magic, but it's tragic I know you're gonna eat me alive You're gonna eat me alive 'Cause I'm a hopeless romantic When I should run for my life Honey, I don't understand it 'Cause it's magic, but it's tragic I know you're gonna eat me alive You're gonna eat me alive
