I Don't Expect Nothing From You

I must give you credit for touching my heart.

I don't leave it lying around.

And one of us said it, right there at the start:

"The depths aren't that easy to sound."

Do you think a man feeling lonely and blue

Needs somebody else he can miss?

I told you that I expect nothing from you

And I sure as shit don't expect this.

I would have been happy to turn you a trick,

So why did you want me to care?

A woman who'd do that is kind of a prick

When she never meant to be there.

Do you think a man is just something to do,

Then leave with a wave and a kiss?

I told you that I expect nothing from you

And I sure as shit don't expect this.

I don't expect nothing from you, sweet mama.

I don't expect nothing from you.

The way that I feel is a low down trauma.

What do you want me to do?

I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't.

I'm pissed off and stuck in the middle.

You might, this is true, but then, maybe you won't.

It's too bad life isn't a riddle.

So, what do you mean when you say and you do

Things you casually, later, dismiss.

I told you that I expect nothing from you

And I sure as shit don't expect this.
