No Expectations Lyrics

[Chorus]
Come and take me to the airport come and bore me on that plane
Because I've got no expectations to ever pass this way again

[Verse]
Well once I was a rich man but now I am so poor
Never in my weary life have I felt like this before
Your love is like a diamond and you cast your pearls to swine
And as I see you leaving me it drags my peace of mind

[Chorus]
Come and take me to the airport come and bore me on that plane
Because I've got no expectations to ever pass this way again

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Your love is like the water it's sparking on the stone
Your love is like the music first it's here and then it's gone

[Chorus]
Come and take me to the airport come and bore me on that plane
Because I've got no expectations to ever pass this way again
Come and take me to the airport come and bore me on that plane
Because I've got no expectations to ever pass this way again

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
