"Hopeless" lyrics - PERCY MAYFIELD

If I ever get lucky
And win my train fare home
If I ever get lucky
And win my train fare home
I'm gonna pack my grip, grab me a fast train
And down the road I'm gone

I used to love a woman
That I thought was in love with me
I used to love a woman
That I thought was in love with me
But she played me for a fool
As anyone can plainly see

No need of me to keep begging
There's no need of me to cry
There's no use for me to keep begging
There's no use for me to cry
I know I'm hooked behind that woman
Until the day I die
