Expecting Too Much

Well once you stop your drinking
And start a little thinking
I'm sure you'll tell me again that you're a diamond in the rough
You've done a lot of fast talking
Mouth's running so I'm walking
I've heard it all before and I have simply had enough
What more is there to say
I just can't take another day
Honey, hate to tell you but you're expecting too much

Expecting me to try
To keep you satisfied
Expecting me to lie beside you one more night
Our love is stone cold not even warm to the touch
Let me break it to you gently
You're expecting too much

You know I tried to please you
You just never would let go
A welder with a blow torch could not unlock the bedroom door
Say I was like a bandit stealing all your time
If I stay another night here I will likely loose my mind
If I made more money honey that is just a crutch
Don't even leave a light on
That's expecting too much

It still amazes me how blind that you can be
Take a good look in the mirror
You're living in a memory
There's two trains running
Gonna hop on one tonight
Goodwill can have the sofa
Won't be there another night

When you and I first me you know
You played so hard to get
You had me jumping rocking rolling riding
Just like I was your pet
Now you've got a laundry list
If things I need to do
Looked good there on the upswing
But there was no follow through
Say so and so does this and that for such and such
Thinking things will change that way
Expecting too much

Expecting me to lie
And give it one more try
You could hit me with an eight ball
It would be more of a high
Clearly I don't turn you on
You're drinking's good enough
It's way past last call
You're expecting too much
