Anne-Marie & MINNIE
Expectations (Clean Radio Version)
[Intro: Anne-Marie]
Ugh

[Verse 1: Anne-Marie, MINNIE]
There was a time when I couldn't
Stop loving you so much
Haven't seen that me in so long
Forgot I shouldn't care
I sang "Dum di di", who I used to be
Is not who I am, look at me
These dreams of mine
Do not need your advice or cheap blessing
My crown, you couldn't lift

[Pre-Chorus: Anne-Marie]
And you want me to act a certain way
I'm no one's toy no more, it hurts them
To know they can't control me each day
Enjoy the pain

[Chorus: Both, MINNIE, Anne-Marie]
I don't need your expectations
Made the bricks to pave my way
Screw that Grammy nomination
Happiness cannot be bought
One summer day
We just might meet up again
Hey, look at you sitting here
All on your own
Lost in your expectations
I can't hеlp you with that
[Verse 2: MINNIE, Anne-Marie]
I can't ever hate you
But had to lеt you go
Changing myself for your ego
And selfish pride stops there
I sang "Karate", who I used to be
Is not who I am, look at me
These dreams of mine
Do not need your advice or cheap blessing
My crown, you couldn't lift

[Pre-Chorus: MINNIE]
You want me to act a certain way
I'm no one's toy no more, it hurts them
To know they can't control me each day
Enjoy the pain

[Chorus: Both, MINNIE, Anne-Marie]
I don't need your expectations
Made the bricks to pave my way
Screw that Grammy nomination
Happiness cannot be bought
One summer day
We just might meet up again
Hey, look at you sitting here
All on your own
Lost in your expectations
I can't help you with that
[Bridge: Anne-Marie]
I can't lie, say it was easy
Each day alone filled me with fear
But here I stand tall
My face to the crowd

[Chorus: Crowd, MINNIE, Anne-Marie]
I don't need your expectations
Made the bricks to pave my way
Screw that Grammy nomination
Happiness cannot be bought
One summer day
We might just meet up again
Hey, look at you sitting here
All on your own
Lost in your expectations
I can't help you with that

[Outro: Anne-Marie]
Ha
