Up in bed, all alone Wondering where you've been Ten past three I know the club closed at two A.M I've already been through about seven scenarios 'Bout what it was that changed your mind Knowing very well that you told me you'd come home And it happens every time Wish I had no expectations I wish that I could get it through your head With no confrontation I really wish we could talk about it instead All these tears that I cry while I'm turned to the side And you're in the same fucking bed Wish I had no expectations But I expect, you expect, we expect No, I don't mean to pry I don't need no play by play (Nah) All I need from your side is for you to communicate Respect for my time, respect for my space, respect for my energy 'Cause I've been waiting here all night for you to warm me up And you haven't once thought of me Wish I had no expectations I really wish that I could get it through your head With no confrontation I really wish we could talk about it instead All these tears that I cry while I'm turned to the side And you're in the same fucking bed Wish I had no expectations But I expect, you expect, we expect Oh, I wish I had no expectations I wish I could get through your head With no confrontation (Confrontations) I really wish we could talk about it instead (Instead) All these tears that I cry while I'm turned to the side And you're in the same fucking bed Wish I had no expectations (No) But I expect, you expect, we expect
