I thought by now, by this time, I'd be looking out the window in some finery, Across the street, at the beat-up bar, I'd be watching some poor devil stumble by my brand new car. Well, I thought by now I would have it made, Lift the shade, take a look out But right now, all I see Is my own face in the window Looking back at me. I thought by now, by this time, I'd be waiting at the window for some kind of sign. And I would be somebody's wife With a tiny little baby gonna pass me by in life. I thought by now I would have it made, Life would be nearly perfect. But right now, all I see I've been standing at the window On my own two feet. I thought by now, by this time, I'd be turning round the corner on a moonlit night, And it would seem like I had it all beat, Zippin' up the leather on a cold hard street. Well, I thought by now, things would change, Turn the page, happy ending. But right now, all I see, The people on the sidewalk look a lot like me. Never satisfied Never satisfied Am I? I thought by now, by this time, I would be the keeper of my destiny, And I would lead the best of lives, Whatever the hell that was in my own mind's eye. Well, I thought by now, I would have it made, Lift the shade, take a look out. But right now, all I see, Is my own face in the window looking back at me, But right now, all I see, Is my own face in the window.... My own face in the window.... My own face in the window....
