"Hopelessly Devoted to You", written by John Farrar, is a song performed by Olivia Newton-John. The song, featured in the film version of Grease, bringing it into the limelight, received an Oscar nomination as Best Original Song, losing to "Last Dance" from Thank God It's Friday at the 51st Academy Awards. Newton-John performed the song at the 21st Grammy Awards. It reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming another hit from the film. In 2003, English-Irish girl group Girls Aloud recorded a cover for the TV special Greasemania. The song was sung in the 2012 Glee episode, "The Role You Were Born to Play", by Darren Criss character, Blaine Anderson.




Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know
There's just no getting over you

You 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'm hopelessly devoted to you

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 till the end."
And that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you

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
