"The Lion's Share" lyrics

"The Lion's Share"

I'm sure you're aware that the lion's share
Is spread out a little too thin
Do you think they're passing you by?
A critical eye
Wouldn't bet on their odds to win
If you think that I'm wrong, put it in a song
Maybe you're waiting to pounce
Hey there's that familiar refrain
The well worn terrain
They'd be lucky to have just an ounce

Of the light in your eyes to compare
While they're trying to play your part
Do you wait in the wings to repair?
Are you trying to disguise your heart?

We'll save you a spot, ohh Camelot
Who's managing your affairs?
Can you bear to calculate
All the foreign rates
Your sightings are exceedingly rare
You should come out and play
Before your audience pays
To put you behind the bars
Know that I exaggerate
We'd be fools not to wait
Who can count on a shooting star?

With the light in your eyes to compare
While they're trying to play your part
Do you wait in the wings to repair?
Are you trying to disguise your heart?

Oooh, pride or patience
Why did you wait so long?

Oh the light in your eyes, no compare
While they're trying to play your part
Do you wait in the winds to repair?
Are you trying to disguise your heart?

Oh the light in your eyes, no compare
While they're trying to play your part
Do you wait in the winds to repair?
Are you trying to disguise your heart?
