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
