Anticipation Without Realization

Mm, anticipation without realization
That's what happens to me
Infatuation without compensation
I get that constantly

This situation brings me aggravation
Baby, it isn't fair
Anticipation without realization
Leaves me exactly nowhere

Sometimes, it looks alright
And sometimes, you hold me tight
Sometimes, the light is bright
Then out goes the spark
And I'm left in the dark

With no explanation, you take a vacation
When some lovin' is due
Anticipation without realization
That's all I'm gettin' from you

Now listen here, honey
Anticipation without realization
Don't mean nothin' at all
'Cause your fascination brings up my palpitation
But you do, you let it fall

Now sweet expectations and lovely inclinations
Vanish into thin air, they're gone
This situation brings only irritation
Baby, please have a care

Sometimes, you start to talk just right
And sometimes, I think, "Maybe, well, tonight's the night, Louie"
And sometimes, a flame starts burnin' bright
Then out comes a note and you're 40 below

With no explanation, you take a long vacation
When some lovin' is due
Now that's a bad time, honey
Unless you give me some consideration
I'll be headin' for a new destination

Infatuation without compensation
Is no consolation without anticipation
Honey child, what can I do?
Anticipation without realization
That's all I'm gettin' from you
That's all I'm gettin' from you
