Not Enough Romance Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I should've never made an eye contact
Should've been a heart of stone
When you stopped me to say "hello"
Would've been twice as easy to just say "no"
'Cause I don't wanna lose at love again, hmm

[Pre-Chorus]
But as a couple we were quite handsome
And the moon was out that night
So we let our hearts go dancing
If the thing is missing in my life

[Chorus]
There's not enough romance in this world, no
There's not enough romance in this world, mmm
There's too many people thinking only of themselves
You gotta give love for its return, oh

[Verse 2]
Wanna sing about new lovers
Who stand up against the odds
Nothing can change a thing that strong
And myself I know my emotions
I got my love to share
And when you need something so tender
What you're looking for is so rare
[Chorus]
There's not enough romance in this world, no
There's not enough romance in this world
You gotta believe in what your heart tells you is right
And I'm here to say that I believe in love

[Bridge]
Ooh, we take a lot of chances playing some foolish games
But that's the only price you've gotta pay, oh-ho
Ooh, I gotta keep believing hungry hearts run free
Everybody needs a good loving
It's anything you want it to be, oh, oh yeah
Ooh, there's too many people thinking only of themselves
You gotta give love for its return

[Chorus]
There's not enough romance in this world, no
Not enough romance in this world
Ooh, you gotta believe in what your heart tells you is right
And I'm here to say that I believe in love, oh yeah

[Outro]
Not enough romance in this world
(Not enough romance in this world)
Oh, there's not enough romance in this world
(Something so tender is quite so far now)
Too many people thinking only of themselves

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
