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
And the winner, and the winner

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

Great expectations
Of all we seem to be
Great expectations
(Take a look around you)
Of all we seem to be
(Take a look around you)
And the winner
And the winner, and the winner

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
Great expectations
(Take a look around you)
Of all we seem to be
(Take a look around you)
And the winner
And the winner, and the winner
