[Intro] Everybody told me... "Girl... You're just a hopeless romantic." (Reggae groove drops.) [Verse 1] Dreaming big... Believing love... Always hoping... For enough. People laughed... Shook their heads... "Too much heart," Is what they said. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe they were wrong... Maybe I was strong... Holding onto love All along. [Chorus] I'm not... A hopeless romantic... No... I'm a hopeful romantic. Love still lives... Inside my soul... That's the fire... That makes me whole. Hopeful romantic... That's who I'll always be. [Verse 2] Some hearts came... Some hearts went... Every lesson... Heaven sent. Every goodbye... Helped me see... Love begins... Inside of me. [Bridge] I stopped waiting... To be found. Love was growing... All around. The dream never changed... Only me... Now I love... So naturally. [Final Chorus] I'm not... A hopeless romantic... No... I'm a hopeful romantic. If love is real... It starts within... That's where every Story begins. Hopeful romantic... Forever I'll remain... Still believing... Love will find its way. [Outro] Hopeful... Romantic... That's my melody... Hopeful romantic... (Steel pan and horns fade.)
