Hopelessly Devoted to You [Olivia Newton-John]
Grease Soundtrack · Grease [Original 1978 Soundtrack] [1991]
My eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know
There's just no getting over you
I know I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But Baby, can't you see
There's nothing else for me to do
I am hopelessly devoted to you
[Chorus:]
But now, there's nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
My head is saying, fool, forget him!
My heart is saying, don't let go!
Hold on to the end, well that's what I intend to do
To do I'm hopelessly devoted to you...
[Chorus:]
But now, there's nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly Devoted to You

Performed by the character Sandy Olsson, the track showcases Newton-John's signature soft-rock style, blending heartfelt balladry with the polished production values of late-seventies pop. The song captures the character's deepening romantic commitment, offering a stark, sincere contrast to the high-energy rock numbers that populate the rest of the soundtrack. As a key recording from the Grease Original Soundtrack, it helped propel Newton-John to international stardom, cementing her status as a leading voice in the era. The track remains a beloved staple of the film's musical narrative, celebrated for its melodic simplicity and the artist's emotive vocal delivery that resonates with audiences decades later.
