Lyrics Am I Expecting Too Much - Allen Toussaint

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
