Lyrics:

I don't need to fall at your feet
Just 'cause you cut me to the bone
And I won't miss the way that you kiss me
We were never carved in stone
If I don't listen to the talk of the town
Then maybe I can fool myself
I'll get over you I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking
I am the king of wishful thinking
I refuse to give in to my blues
That's not how it's going to be
And I deny the tears in my eyes
'Cause I don't want to let you see no
That you have made a hole in my heart
And now I've got to fool myself
I'll get over you I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking (I'll get over you I know I will)
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking (king of wishful thinking)
I will never, never shed a tear for you
I'll get over you (I know I will)
If I don't listen to the talk of the town
Then maybe I can fool myself
I'll get over you I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking
I'm the king of wishful thinking
I'll get over you I know I will
You made a hole in my heart
But I won't shed a tear for you
I'll be the king of wishful thinking
I'll get over you (I know I will)
I'll pretend my heart's still beating
'Cause I've got no more tears for you
I'm the king of wishful thinking
I'll get over you (I know I will)
You made a hole in my heart
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking

  • Ive reached the point in life where the corny songs my mom listened to when i was in the car with her....are now classics to me and I miss those days. Lol
  • I LMAO when my daughter says, Dad I stole your music collection , she never even imagine that she'd be saying something like that... 😂
  • @nicktick3000
    I have memories of waking up on a Saturday morning and smelling coffee and toast and eggs and my mom and dad blaring this song and dancing. The world felt a little less stressful back then.
  • @chrisgblues
    This song helped me get over a breakup in 1991 and now it’s helping me get over a divorce in 2022. Thank you for lifting my spirit during my darkest hours.
  • It still boggles the mind why Peter Cox is not a megastar. He literally has one of the most iconic voices ever.
  • @TerenceJames87
    This is probably the most 80s song ever released in the 90s.
  • @poodeeh.1740
    Song was wayyy ahead of it time! It's 2024 and sounds better than most!!!
  • @macfan128
    30+ years later and this song still slaps
  • @bleep77
    There are certain 90’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them
  • @GangstaMojo
    Go West is like if somebody's dad's decided they wanted to start a band
  • @Inframidi
    The amount of amazing songs I've heard in grocery stores is unreal.
  • This piece is an invaluable artefact of human history, a document of sociocultural, artistic and mental change. You can literally witness the 80s transforming into the 90s in this video.
  • My next door neighbor listens to this song every night. I make sure of it.
