[Verse 1]
Every single time I get myself involved
It seems I fall in love more than I should
Giving all my soul until I realize
That what I share, the way I care
Is so misunderstood
[Verse 2]
Every single time I need to figure out
Just why people change inside their hearts
Never find the answer, even though I try
Love comes and goes, somehow it knows
It meant to from the start
[Chorus]
Am I expecting too much, too much of love
Dreamin' my life away
Am I expecting too much, too much of love
Wastin' the price I pay
[Bridge]
Is every lover like one another
Handing me lies, passing my the time
[Verse 3]
Every single time I see our love again
It's hard not to think about the past
Like a silly fool, I step right in once more
I give my soul, love takes its toll
I'm hoping it will last...
[Chorus]
Am I expecting too much, too much of love
Dreamin' my life away
Am I expecting too much, too much of love
Wastin' the price I pay
[Outro]
Am I expecting too much (ooh), too much of love
Am I expecting too much (ooh), too much of love
Oh, am I expecting too much, too much of love
Dreamin' my life away...
Am I expecting too much, too much of love
Wastin' the price I pay...
Am I expecting too much...
Every single time I get myself involved
It seems I fall in love more than I should
Giving all my soul until I realize
That what I share, the way I care
Is so misunderstood
[Verse 2]
Every single time I need to figure out
Just why people change inside their hearts
Never find the answer, even though I try
Love comes and goes, somehow it knows
It meant to from the start
[Chorus]
Am I expecting too much, too much of love
Dreamin' my life away
Am I expecting too much, too much of love
Wastin' the price I pay
[Bridge]
Is every lover like one another
Handing me lies, passing my the time
[Verse 3]
Every single time I see our love again
It's hard not to think about the past
Like a silly fool, I step right in once more
I give my soul, love takes its toll
I'm hoping it will last...
[Chorus]
Am I expecting too much, too much of love
Dreamin' my life away
Am I expecting too much, too much of love
Wastin' the price I pay
[Outro]
Am I expecting too much (ooh), too much of love
Am I expecting too much (ooh), too much of love
Oh, am I expecting too much, too much of love
Dreamin' my life away...
Am I expecting too much, too much of love
Wastin' the price I pay...
Am I expecting too much...
