Seems everyday
Im 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 thats 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 cant understand


And just when I think
That things are goin right

I get a call from l.a.
Sorry to say were changin your song
I try to reason

But I cant get through
Theyre gonna do it their way
What can I say

Theyve 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 cant 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 cant understand
