When did I get like this?
Standing here alone longing for your kiss
As I ask myself if you'll ever be mine
I'm just a pauper with a battered heart
But rich in love from the day it all started
Still I know inside, you will never be mine, no
Still I think of you
Every night and day
Like a boy staring up at the silver screen
At a starlet he knows won't ever be with him
He's a country boy in a Podunk town
Working day and night to the bone
Funny how we dream for the things in life
That we see on tv every night
And now here I am wishing you were back
Yeah yeah
Crazy how we want the things we cannot have
Where do we go from here?
I don't wanna hide it for another year
Because now I know that this love is real
And they say that it'll never work
That we both come from two different worlds
But it's you and me, we're not listening
We can beat the odds, love always wins
And I think of you
Every night and day
Yeah, I wanna love like the silver screen
Will you be the one to rescue me?
This beauty queen will give up her crown
Yeah it shines but it weighs her down
Funny how we dream for the things in life
That we see on tv every night
Now here I am wishing you were back
Yeah yeah
Crazy how we want the things we cannot have
I can't go on without you
Don't know what else that I can do
If we could just be together
To where it's just me and you
When did I get like this?
Standing here alone longing for your kiss
As I ask myself if you'll ever be mine
They say that it will never work
That we both come from
Two different worlds
But come back to me
Stop listening
We can beat the odds
Love always wins
So I tell myself
That one day you'll be mine
Just Like a boy staring up at the silver screen
At that beauty queen that could be with him
Just a country boy in a Podunk town
Working day and night to the bone
Funny how we dream for the things in life
That we see on tv every night
Now here I am wishing you were back
Crazy how we want the things we cannot have
Crazy how we want the things we cannot have
Crazy how we want the things we cannot have
