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 meagre defence      Chorus   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 new   Cause I’d have left otherwise      Chorus      So I wasn’t thinking clearly   So you didn’t think at all   I thought that was protocol      Chorus
