[Intro]

Ah, yes I've been waiting

Waiting patiently

I'm waiting

[Verse]

Well if you ever feeling sorry

So sorry for yourself

And they tell you not to worry

Just leave your problems up on that shelf

[Chorus]

C'est what? C'est what, oh well c'est what?

Yeah, that's what they're gonna tell you, day and night

C'est what? C'est what, oh well c'est what?

[Verse]

You're on the inside looking outside

Wishing you were somewhere else

But you sit back with reservations

As you count up all your unearned wealth

[Chorus]

C'est what? C'est what, oh well c'est what?

Ah they're sayin' it again

C'est what? C'est what, oh well c'est what?

You know it and I know it too

C'est what, what? C'est what, oh well c'est what?

[Interlude]

Well let me tell you a story

Like the ones I used to know

It's about love and all its glory

Well I'm sorry but it just ain't so

I said I'm sorry but it just ain't so

It just ain't so, ah no, no

[Verse]

It took a long time just to get even

If you know just what I mean

So let's call it even-steven

In the land of broken dreams

[Chorus]

C'est what? C'est what, oh well c'est what?

Yeah they're at it again

C'est what? C'est what, oh well c'est what?

Yeah, every day and every night

C'est what, what? C'est what, oh well c'est what?

I can't take it anymore, no I can't

C'est what? C'est what, oh well c'est what?

[Bridge]

Gonna get it, don't sweat it

Don't apologize, it's all around you

Gonna get it, don't sweat it

Don't apologize, it's all around you

[Verse]

You may never be all that you wanna be

Deep down inside you, you know it will never be

No bed of roses or walk down the avenue

Culturally, socially, people walk over you

Get with the program and make with the attitude

Life is a dream if you face it my friend

[Outro]

He-e-ey

He-e-ey

He-e-ey

He-e-ey, he-e-ey

He-e-ey, he-e-ey

He-e-ey, he-e-ey, he-e-ey, he-e-ey, he-e-ey
