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
