KING OF WISHFUL THINKING (PRETTY WOMAN, 1990)

Perhaps Pretty Woman is Julia Robert's most famous movie. No less than the 1990 film earned Roberts her first Oscar nomination for Best Actress (she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Steel Magnolias). The now classic romantic comedy also boasts of great soundtrack. Go West sang one of the recognized and catchy songs in the film, King Of Wishful Thinking.

KING OF WISHFUL THINKING

sung by: Go West

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
Then 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
I am the king of wishful thinking

I refuse to give in to my blues
That’s not how it’s going to 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

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

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 ship’s not sinking
And I’ll tell myself 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’ll be the king of wishful thinking

I’ll get over you
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
