Lyrics 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
