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
