Hey Wait a Minute Songtext
von REO Speedwagon

Hey, wait a minute
Something just ain′t right

Hey, wait a minute
Something's just not fair

I was supposed to win the lottery
Yes, I′m supposed to be a millionaire
I'm supposed to be a worldwide tourist
Have lots of equity and life insurance

I'm supposed to be a gold card member
Rubbing elbows with the big-time spenders
I′m supposed to be a wealthy man
But all I′ve got are blistered hands
Hey, wait a minute

Hey, wait a minute
There's got to be a better way

I′m working twice as hard but getting no richer
Than I, than I was yesterday
I'm supposed to drive a big Mercedes
Live in a mansion full of naked ladies


Yes, I′m supposed to own my own casino
Be a superstar like Sammy, Frank and Dino
Someday I'm gonna be a big success
And tell my boss to kiss my ass

Shoo, shoo
Shoo, shoo
Shoo, shoo
Shoo, shoo

Hey, wait a minute
Something must be wrong

I′m supposed to be dining on caviar
And drinking Dom Perignon
I'm supposed to have open invitations
To classy country clubs all across the nation

I'm supposed to have jewelry with diamonds
And a 50-foot yacht I can sail around the islands
I′m supposed to be so carefree
But all I′ve got is misery

Hey, wait a minute
Something's just ain′t right
Hey, wait a minute
Oh, something's just not fair, I swear, I said


Hey, wait a minute
Something′s wrong, something's wrong, oh so wrong
Hey, wait a minute
Oh, there′s gotta be a better way

Hey, wait a minute
