Amateur Lyrics - Ultimate Collection - 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 an 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
