Lyrics

No Expectations

[Intro]

1, 2, ready, go

[Verse 1]

Take me to the station

And put me on a train

I got no expectations

To pass through here again

[Verse 2]

Once I was a rich man

But now I am so poor

But never in my sweet short life

Have I felt like this before

[Verse 3]

Your heart is like a diamond

You throw your pearls at swine

And as I watch you leaving me

You pack my peace of mind

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 4]

Our love was like the water

That splashes on a stone

Our love is like our music

It's here, and then it's gone

[Verse 5]

So take me to the airport

And put me on a plane

I got no expectations

To pass through here again

[Outro]

Alright

Yeah, boogie
