Great Expectations
|
(Eric Carmen)
|
|
Seems everyday
|
I'm gettin' harder pressed
|
To find a reason to shave
|
Watchin' the hours
|
Just slippin' away
|
No motivation to get out of bed
|
And carry on the charade
|
Caught in a dream that's goin' astray
|
|
Oh, all those great expectations
|
Seems they never work out, never work out
|
The way that I plan
|
All those great expectations
|
Why they never work out, never work out
|
I can't understand
|
|
And just when I think
|
That things are goin' right
|
I get a call from L.A.
|
Sorry to say "we're changin' your song"
|
I try to reason
|
But I can't get through
|
They're gonna do it their way
|
What can I say
|
They've never been wrong
|
|
Oh, all those great expectations
|
Seems they never work out, never work out
|
The way that I plan
|
All those great expectations
|
Why they never work out, never work out
|
I can't understand
|
|
Life is just a game of chance
|
I think somebody said so
|
Sometimes you get a hula hoop
|
Sometimes you get an Edsel
|
|
Oh, all those great expectations
|
Seems they never work out, never work out
|
The way that I plan
|
All those great expectations
|
Why they never work out, never work out
|
I can't understand
|
