Melting in the sun

I'm melting in the sun
and this is what they call the life
i suppose too much sun
makes a desert arab say
i really love this country
and there's a lot i want to see
Great expectations
of all we seem to be
and the winner
and the winner, and the winner
Do you wanna make a story up
there's enough it always seems
if it happened all this morning
tonight we'll see it on tv
Great expectations
of all we seem to be
great expectations
(take a look around you)
of all we seem to be
(take a look around you)
and the winner
and the winner, and the winner
She was twelve and knew the world
her boyfriend knew a dance to this
everybody's got advice
take a snake take a ladder
and this is what they call the life
i'm melting in the sun
Great expectations
of all we seem to be
great expectations
(take a look around you)
of all we seem to be
(take a look around you)
and the winner
and the winner, and the winner
