A succession of singles and albums established Dr. C.J. Johnson as one of the countryβs foremost hymnologists. His recordings were at once anachronistic and refreshing at a time when gospel music focused squarely on hard-singing leads and heavy instrumental backing. Dr. Johnsonβs commitment to the old time sound β straight congregational singing with occasional slaps of the tambourine β earned him an invitation to sing at the White House on three separate occasions.
Hopeless
C.J. Johnson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sitting there, wondering, who makes the move
Tenderly, she whisper, baby I love you
But her rhythm couldn't keep up with my groove
Babe, just pretend, you love me, forever more
If I was a doctor, I wish to find our cure
Take in our first and our last loving chance
Honey, we got ourselves a hopeless romance.
Yet, we choose to never part
Baby girl, you know you broke my heart
Yet, we choose to never part
Though your soul is revealing, you had so much feeling
For I, will always love you
Darling, I love your charms
As we hold each other close, arm to arm
Long time ago, when you had my soul
Sharing love was a gift from above
Whenever you left me, I was so worried
Yet, I always knew it was just a story
You never had intentions, to care for me, like I do
You know I treated you right, just for you and only you
Less and less it gets, our love somehow stands a chance
Baby, we got a flame from our hopeless romance
Baby girl, you know you broke my heart
Yet, we choose to never part
Baby girl, you know you broke my heart
Yet, we choose to never part
Though your soul is revealing, you had so much feeling
For I, will always love you
Darling, I'd love to dance
As we become a hopeless romance
It was like we fought over nothing, just each other
We even thought it was best to not be with one another
May you please find someone who cares for you, like I do
If you don't get it now, then listen to what I say to you
Baby girl, you know you broke my heart
Yet, we choose to never part
Baby girl, you know you broke my heart
Yet, we choose to never part
When we act, it's just another show
When we talk, we start to grow
Our love, pure as snow
Baby, let's take that chance
To have just simple
Baby girl, you know you broke my heart
Yet, we choose to never part
Baby girl, you know you broke my heart
Yet, we choose to never part
When we act, it's just another show
When we talk, we start to grow
Our love, pure as snow
Baby girl, let's take that chance
To have just simple romance

Line by Line Meaning
Simple and yet boring, she had my heart beating
She was plain, but I was still attracted to her
Sitting there, wondering, who makes the move
I was hesitant to initiate anything with her
Tenderly, she whisper, baby I love you
She professed her love for me gently
But her rhythm couldn't keep up with my groove
We were not in sync with each other
Babe, just pretend, you love me, forever more
I wanted her to say that she loved me, even if it wasn't true
If I was a doctor, I wish to find our cure
I wish I could fix our problems and make our relationship work
Take in our first and our last loving chance
We need to cherish every moment we have together
Honey, we got ourselves a hopeless romance.
Our relationship is not perfect, but we are still committed to each other
Though your soul is revealing, you had so much feeling
You have a lot of emotions inside you that you are showing me
For I, will always love you
I will always have feelings for you
Darling, I love your charms
I am attracted to your personality and traits
As we hold each other close, arm to arm
We are physically close to each other
Long time ago, when you had my soul
I felt deeply connected to you in the past
Sharing love was a gift from above
Being able to love each other is a special blessing
Whenever you left me, I was so worried
I was anxious when you were away from me
Yet, I always knew it was just a story
I knew it was just my imagination
You never had intentions, to care for me, like I do
You did not love me as much as I loved you
You know I treated you right, just for you and only you
I was good to you and did everything for you
Less and less it gets, our love somehow stands a chance
Our love is fading, but there is still hope for us
Baby, we got a flame from our hopeless romance
Our love is not perfect, but it still burns brightly
It was like we fought over nothing, just each other
We argued for no reason other than our feelings for each other
We even thought it was best to not be with one another
We considered breaking up, but decided against it
May you please find someone who cares for you, like I do
I hope you find someone who loves you as much as I do
When we act, it's just another show
Our actions do not always reflect our true feelings
When we talk, we start to grow
We learn more about each other when we communicate
Our love, pure as snow
Our love is innocent and true
Baby girl, let's take that chance
Let's take a risk and be together
To have just simple romance
We do not need anything complicated, just each other
