[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
