High Hopes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Did I hear you say you need someone to talk to
And you want to have someone to hold you close
You've got high hopes for someone good and strong
Someone good to hold you close
I wish that I could be the one you want, girl
I wish that I could be the one that's strong
But you're high hopes are better saved
For someone else who might stay
I'll see you standing there in the pouring rain
Hoping that the taxi comes real soon
Cause you're beautiful enough to make mistakes
You're beautiful enough to make me stay
Did I hear you say you want someone to talk to
And you want to feel some loving in your heart
You've got high hopes for someone good and strong
Someone good who will stay
