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
