Hopeless Lyrics
hello morning, now when does the fun begin?
goodbye morning, sorry it had to end
but see, I cried just a little too long
now it's time for me to be strong
hello morning, I sure missed you last night
goodbye morning, you just won't do me right
I stayed just a little too long
now it's time for me to move on
they say I'm hopeless as a penny with a hole in it
penny with a
penny with a hole in it
yeah, yeah, yeah
they say I'm no less, no less, no less
no less, no less than up to my head in it
hello yesterday, I sure need you now
goodbye yesterday, I just can't stay around
you see, I cried just a little too long
now it's time for me to be strong
hello yesterday, remember how it used to be?
goodbye yesterday, I can't take you with me
no, no, no I can't
you see, I stayed just a little too long
and now it's time for me to move on
they say I'm hopeless, hopeless, hopeless, yeah
as a penny with a hole in it
they say I'm no less, no less, no less
no less, no less, no less than up to my head in it
yeah, yeah, they say I'm hopeless, hopeless
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
as a penny with a hole in it
penny, penny, penny with a hole in it
hole in it, yeah
they say I'm no less, no less, no less
no less, no less than up to my head in it
goodbye morning, sorry it had to end
but see, I cried just a little too long
now it's time for me to be strong
goodbye morning, you just won't do me right
I stayed just a little too long
now it's time for me to move on
penny with a
penny with a hole in it
yeah, yeah, yeah
they say I'm no less, no less, no less
no less, no less than up to my head in it
goodbye yesterday, I just can't stay around
you see, I cried just a little too long
now it's time for me to be strong
goodbye yesterday, I can't take you with me
no, no, no I can't
you see, I stayed just a little too long
and now it's time for me to move on
as a penny with a hole in it
they say I'm no less, no less, no less
no less, no less, no less than up to my head in it
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
as a penny with a hole in it
penny, penny, penny with a hole in it
hole in it, yeah
they say I'm no less, no less, no less
no less, no less than up to my head in it

This song is pretty much the theme of the 1997 romantic drama, 'Love Jones' I was first introduced to it after watching that movie, when it opens and the song is playing as the viewer is looking at Nina's portfolio. God. I fell in love with it immediately.
I believe the film's first act does a very good job of explaining the meaning behind the song- a woman is heartbroken/leaving a broken relationship/venturing out into the new and unknown and she feels as if the future is bleak. She yearns for those simple moments, those good mornings- those yesterdays...but they're gone. But she refuses to stay in this rut- and moves on. They say she's hopeless- but she's gonna emerge on top. Or at least that's what I think.
I know Ms. Farris isn't around anymore, at least that I've heard about... but this is a truly great song and i can relate to being hopeless. :)
Great song sound track to a beautiful movie "The love jones" watched it 3 times
