 C    D               F C
Your mouth said this never
But your fingers have shown me
Your head is so clever
You claim that you own me

Chorus:
G# A#m C# G#
Forever
Forever
Forever
Forever

You have the right to conduct me
In whatever fashion
Your attempt to construct me
In the interest of passion

Chorus:
You sent me
To Toledo
Toledo
Toledo

I came back with handfuls
I did what you asked me
But after the thank yous
That you quickly got past me

Chorus:
I'm expected
You're expecting
I'm expected
Expected
