Lyrics Expecting To Lose - Nathaniel Rateliff

Expecting To Lose

What makes you sad, what makes you blue?
I’m all in rags with nothing to lose
We could traverse and find a way through
Land in the grass and start acting like fools
You’re a prisoner by day
Is that what you choose?
Stand in the water, baby
It’ll get you through tonight
Who did you razz?
Who starts the coup?
Went on a fast with no weight to lose
You said you were layin' off of the booze
Came over drunk to lay on the truth
You’re a prisoner by day
Expecting to lose
Stand in the water, baby
It’ll get you through tonight
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo
Doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo
Doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
You came in the front to sneak back in the room
With all of your friends and all attitude
Went into a lunge while playing it cool
You said, «Come here close and I’ll lay on the truth»
You’re a prisoner by day
Expecting to lose
Stand in the water, baby
It’ll get you through tonight
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo
Doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
You’re a prisoner by day
Is that what you choose?
Stand in the water, baby
It’ll get you through tonight
