Typical misunderstanding
Boy fucks up in playing man
Wanting to hold hands
But scared of holding hands
Wants to make demands on someone
But unsure where he stands
She says "Don't expect much.
I might not like what you get"
She says "Don't expect much"
It's too late his mind is set
Classic case American boy
Fed up with all this noise from
The grown ups
Clinging to his poise and nothing
More to lead him through this minefield
She says "Don't expect much.
I might not like what you get"
She says "Don't expect much"
What a charming sentiment
She hangs up the phone with a smile
That I don't know
Returns the conversations with
Soothing tones and so on
But left alone don't know
If I found soul or spite
Who were you talking to tonight
I'll tell you when the time is right
("soothing tones" continued)
Do you think you can deal with me
'Cause all this may not be real
You never know
There might just be 7 other people here
I think I can make things right
If you'll just let me stay here tonight
I may just sweep away the
cobwebs until you see all
you want in me
She hangs up the phone with a smile
That I don't know
Returns the conversations with
Soothing tones and so on
But left alone don't know
If I found soul or spite
Who were you talking to tonight
I'll tell you when the time is right
