I'm melting in the sun
And this is what they call the life
I suppose too much sun
Makes a desert Arab say
"And I really love this country
And there's a lot I want to see"
Great expectation
Of all we seem to be
The winner
The winner, winner
Do you wanna make a story up?
There's enough, it always seemed
If it happened this morning
Tonight, we'll see it on TV
Great expectation
Of all we seem to be
Great expectations (take a look around here, take a look around here)
Of all we seem to be (take a look, take a look)
And the winner
The winner, winner
She was twelve and knew the world
Her boyfriend knew a dance to this
Everybody's got advice
Take a snake and take a ladder
And this is what they call the life
I'm melting in the sun
Great expectation
Of all we seem to be
Great expectations (take a look around here, take a look around here)
Of all we seem to be (take a look, take a look)
And the winner
The winner, winner
