lyrics
EXPECTATIONS
Oh expectations how…
Hey little girl, you only count in this world when you’ve got
Your lashes perfect in curl, when you’re tall,
You’re cup is D and you’re not to fat
Hey college boy, you better get to the top,
if you don’t, you know that we’ll call you a flop
and you’re not going to tell us that we spent all our money on that
Oh, expectations how they turn me around
With their voices from left and right and up and down
But I found that all I have to do is love you
Love you, love you
Hey little girl, the best thing ‘bout singing is to scat
you gotta like Charlie, Miles and Chet,
‘Cause just singing songs is something we all can do
But I don’t see the fun in singing: zwabadabadoowee
It’s good for you, but not for me
It just makes me blue
Oh, expectations how they turn me around
With their voices from left and right and up and down
But I found that all I have to do is love you
Love you, love you
Oh expectations how…
Hey little girl, you only count in this world when you’ve got
Your lashes perfect in curl, when you’re tall,
You’re cup is D and you’re not to fat
Hey college boy, you better get to the top,
if you don’t, you know that we’ll call you a flop
and you’re not going to tell us that we spent all our money on that
Oh, expectations how they turn me around
With their voices from left and right and up and down
But I found that all I have to do is love you
Love you, love you
Hey little girl, the best thing ‘bout singing is to scat
you gotta like Charlie, Miles and Chet,
‘Cause just singing songs is something we all can do
But I don’t see the fun in singing: zwabadabadoowee
It’s good for you, but not for me
It just makes me blue
Oh, expectations how they turn me around
With their voices from left and right and up and down
But I found that all I have to do is love you
Love you, love you
