Am I Expecting Too Much - Allen Toussaint

I felt the thrill of your warm embrace

Now I can’t look into another face

You said just friends we’ll always be

And yet, from time to time you make love to me

Hour after hour, night and day

I just can’t tear my heart away

I’d love to go out and make a scene

But I’m … and tired by your love …

Am I expecting too much

When I expect to be loved by you

Am I expecting too much

When I expect to be loved by you

Crippled my soul with your hit and run

Though sometimes it was lots of fun

Taking my body … through the motions

Then you go to follow the sun

You had your problems, I know you do

But I’m the man that understands you

And give that look of love that’s in your eyes

Am I expecting too much

When I expect to be loved by you

Am I expecting too much

When I expect your love to be true

Am I expecting too much

When I expect to be loved by you

Am I expecting too much

When I expect your love to be true
