Hope Lyrics

How can you say "you torture me" when you're already thinking about someone else
When he comes home you'll be in his arms and I'll be gone
But I know my day will come, I know someday I'll be the only one
So now you wait for a spark you now it will turn you on
He's gonna make you feel the way you want to feel
When he starts to lie when he makes you cry you'll now I'll be there
My day will come, I know someday I'll be the only one

Call me selfish, call it what you like I think it's right
To want someone for all your own and not to share their love
But I'll have the way
You won't stand a chance anyway
'Cause I got to you, you don't stand a chance

So now you wait for his cock, you know it will turn you on
He's gonna make you feel the way you want to feel
When he starts to lie, when he makes you cry you'll now I'll be there
My day will come, I know someday I'll be the only one
My day will come, I know someday I'll be the only one

You say you want perfection, that's your self-destruction
You don't know what you want, it's gonna take you a year to find out
I am not givin' up
And when you've had enough, you take your bruised little head
And you'll come running back to me
I know that I will be the only one
