Waiting On The Day

I love the look of the city

In the back of your dad's limousine

And boy, we sure look pretty

On the cover of those tabloid magazines

I keep on waiting for the day when you give in

But I've lost count of how many years it's been

While you're counting Daddy's earnings by the fire

I'm stuck dreaming of a life in your empire

One day, we'll call the captain

I hope you held on to that ring

But I'm spending summer in the Hamptons

Before our memories turn into dreams

I keep on waiting on the day that things go right

But I'm starting to see that they never might

While you're drinking till your eyes are on fire

I'll be burning underneath your empire

I keep on waiting for the day when you give in

But I've lost count of how many years it's been

While you're counting Daddy's earnings by the fire

I'm stuck dreaming of a life in your empire

I'm stuck dreaming of a life in your empire
