You never call me up
When I'm alone at night
What can this poor boy do
When he's hopelessly in love with you?

So I will tell you now
This love is fallin' down
Just what more can I do
When I'm hopelessly in love with you?

Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love with you

So I will tell you this
Our love is in a fix
Just what more can I do
When I'm hopelessly in love with you?

You never call me up
When I'm alone at night
What can a poor boy do
When he's hopelessly in love with you?

Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love with you

Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love
I'm hopelessly in love with you

Ooh, bye-bye baby

The party's over
I have gone away... (Repeat until fade)

Journey

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
