I'm melting in the sun
And this is what they call the life
I suppose too much sun
Makes a desert Arab say
I really love this country

And there's a lot I want to see
Great expectations
Of all we seem to be

And the winner
The winner

Do you wanna make a story up
There's enough it always seems
If it happened this morning
Tonight we'll see it on TV

Great expectations
Of all we seem to be

She was twelve and knew the world
Her boyfriend knew a dance to this
Everybody's got advice
Take a snake take a ladder
And this is what they call the life
I'm melting in the sun

Great expectations
Of all we seem to be
