Lyrics - Amateur by Aimee Mann

I’m told the case is now closed so
I can come to my senses but when the
Question is posed
I’ll have this meager defense
I was hoping that you’d know better than that
I was hoping but you’re an
Amateur
I was hoping that you’d know better but
I’ve been wrong before
Despite conclusions
I drew there was a chance you’d surprise me and you’d be
Better than you ’cause
I’d have left otherwise
I was hoping that you’d know better than that
I was hoping but you’re an
Amateur
I was hoping that you’d know better but
I’ve been wrong before
So
I wasn’t thinking clearly so you didn’t think at all
I thought that was
Protocol-piano/guitar solo-
I was hoping that you’d know better than that
I was hoping but you’re an
Amateur
I was hoping that you’d know better but
I’ve been wrong before
I was hoping that
I was hoping but you’re an amateur
I was hoping that you’d
Know better but
I’ve been wrong before
