Lyrics for Am I Expecting Too Much

Am I expecting too much? Am I expecting too much? 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
