Great Expectations

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
