Amateur - 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 and 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 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

On me dit que l'affaire est désormais close

Je peux donc retrouver mes esprits

Mais quand la question est posée

Je vais avoir cette maigre défense



J'espérais que tu saurais mieux que ça

J'espérais mais tu es un amateur

J'espérais que tu saurais mieux

Mais j'ai eu tort avant



Malgré les conclusions que j'ai tirées

Il y avait une chance que tu me surprennes

Et tu serais mieux que toi

Parce que je serais parti autrement



J'espérais que tu saurais mieux que ça

J'espérais mais tu es et amateur

J'espérais que tu saurais mieux

Mais j'ai eu tort avant



Donc je ne pensais pas clairement

Vous n'avez donc pas pensé du tout

Je pensais que c'était le protocole



J'espérais que tu saurais mieux que ça

J'espérais mais tu es un amateur

J'espérais que tu saurais mieux

Mais j'ai eu tort avant



J'espérais que ...

J'espérais mais tu es un amateur

J'espérais que tu saurais mieux

Mais j'ai eu tort avant
