The Reign Of Kindo - Romancing a Stranger lyrics

I found the roses that I bought her, she threw them on the street She doesn't love me And all the letters that I sent her, she never wrote to say She's thinking of me All the words that I could say, all the looks I sent her way To make her love me With one look upon her face, she puts me in my place She's high above me Oh it's plain enough to see, she doesn't love me Oh but love is all I need Oh, my dear I have changed the way I speak to please your ears I listen only to the words that you revere And I've renounced the things I love to draw you near Tell me, what else would you change What else do you find strange when you think of me? If you'd give more some more time I'll be made to your design so you can love me Her jokes, all quite awful Still I'm certain to laugh to a strain And I dwell in discomfort But if she looks my way it's worth the pain She may tell me she prefers a cup of tea that I despise So I choke it down and smile to see approval in her eyes She may not like my opinions, so in silence they'll reside But God forbid that she thinks me just a fool I carefully play this game to an end, this despair If she says jump, I'll ask how high Over mountains through the sky To the stars and then beyond so she'd be mine I've earned a few smiles, I've heard a kind word here or there But I must face the morning air How pathetic that I cared For the romance of a stranger's wanting eyes She doesn't love me She doesn't love me She doesn't love me How could she love me?
