Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My eyes are not the first to cry,
I'm not the first to know there's
Just no getting over you
I know I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But baby can't you see,
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now,
There's nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
My head is saying "Fool! Forget him"
My heart is saying "Don't let go"
Hold on to the end,
That's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now,
There's nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
