I'm forever at the ready
I'm champing at the bit
Lived my whole life screaming, This is it
Nobody hears me and nobody one cares
Who gives two bits about my frivolous affairs
All I want is my day in the sun
Especially now that my day is nearly done
I am all dressed up, I got nowhere to go
I wait by the ticking clock and the hands they move so slow
Is this the day my ship will come
Is this the day I will get me some
All I need is a taste of the pie
All I need is a little piece of the sky
My heart is busted and so is my pride
Always the bridegroom and never the bride
My dreams are shattered, I’ve been denied
Always the bridegroom and never the bride
I've lowered my sites, I don't want for much
Got no expectations, nothing nonesuch
I will take what I'm given, I will take what you got
Even if what you got it ain't a lot
All I want is to stay afloat
All I want is just a little bit of hope
I am willing to settle for next to nothing at all
I will rob old Peter just to pay old Paul
These are desperate times and I'm a desperate man
Gotta do anything any way I can
I don't care if I look like a fool
And I don't care if I break every single rule
