Expectations is a pop song about the demands we place on our partners; how we need them to think we’re the best, how they’re going to fix all our problems. Of course they never do. A semi-serious, freshly produced pop bop with a narrative that asks:
Am I in love with you, or my expectations?
Co-wr...
[Intro]
Am I in love?
Am I in love with you?
[Verse 1]
I wanna be the only one you tell your friends about
Only one you wanna see
I wanna be the only person that you think about
When you're away from me
[Pre-Chorus]
I want you to love me like I need you
If we're ever gonna last
I want you to genuinely think that I'm the very best
Thing you ever had
[Chorus 1]
Am I in love with you, you, you
Or my expectations?
There's nothing you can do, do, do
When I'm built on these foundations
Am I in love with you?
Am I in love with you?
Am I in love with you
Or my expectations?
[Verse 2]
Spent my whole life on the lookout for a warning sign
A sign I never saw
Now I'm waiting on my life to slowly pass me by
Waiting on your call
[Pre-Chorus]
I want you to love me like I need you
If we're ever gonna last
I want you to genuinely think that I'm the very best
Thing you ever had
[Chorus 2]
Am I in love with you, you, you
Or my expectations?
There's nothing you can do, do, do
When I'm built on these foundations
Am I in love with you?
Am I in love with you?
Am I in love with you
Or my expectations?
Or my expectations?
Or my expectations?
[Outro]
Ooo
Am I in love with you?
Am I in love with you?
Am I in love with you?
Or my expectations?
Am I in love with you?
