Hopelessly Yours
George Jones · Radio Lover 1980-1989: A Critical Anthology [2005]
I love you, I hate you, forget you, but I'm afraid to
You loved me or did you, I'll never be sure
But one things for certain.in spite of this hurtin'
For ever I'm hopelessly yours.
From laughing to cryin', from livin' to dyin'
From heaven to heartaches I know I can't cure
But one things for certain in spite of this hurtin'
Forever I'm hopelessly yours.
I cry on the slightest of notions
'Cause I'm just going through these emotions.
I love you, I hate you, forget you, ah, but I'm afraid to.
You loved me or did you, I'll never be sure.
But one things for certain in spite of this hurtin'
Forever I'm hopelessly yours.
I'll always be hopelessly yours.
Always be yours...
You loved me or did you, I'll never be sure
But one things for certain.in spite of this hurtin'
For ever I'm hopelessly yours.
From laughing to cryin', from livin' to dyin'
From heaven to heartaches I know I can't cure
But one things for certain in spite of this hurtin'
Forever I'm hopelessly yours.
I cry on the slightest of notions
'Cause I'm just going through these emotions.
I love you, I hate you, forget you, ah, but I'm afraid to.
You loved me or did you, I'll never be sure.
But one things for certain in spite of this hurtin'
Forever I'm hopelessly yours.
I'll always be hopelessly yours.
Always be yours...
