What Did You Expect? Lyrics — Hot Mess

What Did You Expect?

So you love my fire but hate my fireworks
Do you understand how a fire works?
It keeps building up, never satisfied
Let’s be honest we both know that is why
You like the passion I bring
Don’t argue, there's no fighting
I am the most exciting
Thing that could happen to you

If you wanted a winner
Don’t you tell me to stand down
If you wanted ambition
Don’t expect me to chill
If you wanted a thriller
Don’t be scared of the drama
No you loved it the last time I checked
Baby what did you expect?

You know that’s the reason
Why I am the one who’s still here
Why, unlike your exes,
I didn’t just disappear
I keep things exciting,
I change and adapt and transform
Don’t put up a fight now you suddenly feel a bit warm

I’m making big things happen
Don't try to give me crap when
You chose this ride, so strap in
Babe this is just what I do

If you wanted a winner
Don’t you tell me to stand down
If you wanted ambition
Don’t expect me to chill
If you wanted a thriller
Don’t be scared of the drama
So if I am the one you select
Baby what did you expect?
