Lyrics and translation Aimee Mann - Amateur

Amateur

I'm told the case is now closed
So I can come to my senses
But when the question is posed
I'll have this meager defense
I was hoping that you'd know better than that
I was hoping, but you're an amateur
I was hoping that you'd know better
But I've been wrong before
Despite conclusions I drew
There was a chance you'd surprise me
And you'd be better than new
'Cause I'd have left otherwise
I was hoping that you'd know better than that
I was hoping, but you're an amateur
I was hoping that you'd know better
But I've been wrong before
So I wasn't thinking clearly
So you didn't think at all
I thought that was protocol
I was hoping that you'd know better than that
I was hoping, but you're an amateur
I was hoping that you'd know better
But I've been wrong before
I was hoping that
I was hoping, but you're an amateur
I was hoping that you'd know better
But I've been wrong before

Amateur

On me dit que l'affaire est close
Alors je peux revenir à mes sens
Mais quand la question est posée
J'aurai cette maigre défense
J'espérais que tu saurais mieux que ça
J'espérais, mais tu es un amateur
J'espérais que tu saurais mieux
Mais je me suis déjà trompée
Malgré les conclusions que j'ai tirées
Il y avait une chance que tu me surprises
Et que tu sois meilleure que neuve
Parce que je serais partie autrement
J'espérais que tu saurais mieux que ça
J'espérais, mais tu es un amateur
J'espérais que tu saurais mieux
Mais je me suis déjà trompée
Donc je ne pensais pas clairement
Donc tu n'as pas pensé du tout
Je pensais que c'était le protocole
J'espérais que tu saurais mieux que ça
J'espérais, mais tu es un amateur
J'espérais que tu saurais mieux
Mais je me suis déjà trompée
J'espérais que
J'espérais, mais tu es un amateur
J'espérais que tu saurais mieux
Mais je me suis déjà trompée
