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
