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
 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
