[Verse 1]
I'm just a penny that fell
From a hole in ya pocket
And clattered to the gutter at your feet
I'm like a puppet on a broken string
Who lies completely helpless in a heap
Just a hopeful heart standing inline
Hoping you might need me sometime
If ya do you might call my name
[Verse 2]
But from now on
I guess I'll always be that somethin' you saved
For a rainy day that never came
(Aww-aww-aww-awwwww)
[Verse 3]
'Cause you've got sunshine (Aww-aww)
And fields of clover (Aww-ah)
But I feel so useless now that it's over
You never said you'd leave me
Or that you didn't love me
And I guess you're gonna keep me on a string
(Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo)
[Verse 4]
So from now on
I guess I'll always be that somethin'
You saved for a rainy day
That never came
I'm just a penny that fell
From a hole in ya pocket
And clattered to the gutter at your feet
I'm like a puppet on a broken string
Who lies completely helpless in a heap
Just a hopeful heart standing inline
Hoping you might need me sometime
If ya do you might call my name
[Verse 2]
But from now on
I guess I'll always be that somethin' you saved
For a rainy day that never came
(Aww-aww-aww-awwwww)
[Verse 3]
'Cause you've got sunshine (Aww-aww)
And fields of clover (Aww-ah)
But I feel so useless now that it's over
You never said you'd leave me
Or that you didn't love me
And I guess you're gonna keep me on a string
(Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo)
[Verse 4]
So from now on
I guess I'll always be that somethin'
You saved for a rainy day
That never came
