Lyrics by Tom Toce


HOPELESSLY IN LOVE

Thoroughly you fell.
Drastically as well.
Never thought you would but there you go.
Humming all day long
Some familiar song.
Don’t you know you’re hopelessly in love?

I’ve been there before.
Couple times or more.
Frenzied, though your brain says take it slow.
Things are going just the way they should:
Much too much too good.
Man, you know you’re hopelessly in love.

Take a guy whose surface never could be scratched.
See the icy surface get outmatched.
She was so determined; you were disinclined.
Whatever she did, she did and now you’ve lost your mind.

Humming all day long
That familiar song.
Little tune to “roon” your status quo.
Ain’t the slightest doubt.
Brother, you’re found out.
Clear as any quasar up above,
Radiating hopelessly in love.

Might as well confess it. Might as well rejoice.
Any way you dress it, there’s no choice.
For the lucky loser, I’ve some sage advice.
Whatever is done is done, and son, let’s don’t think twice.

Always thought you would.
Much too much too good.
Better just sit back, enjoy the show.
As I mentioned, I’ve been there before.
Guess I know the score.
Aren’t you feeling one day like a helpless baby?
Next day—like a helpless baby?
Could you, to your deep dismay, be hopelessly in love?
