Amateur Songtext
von 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 new
′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

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
