Expecting Lyrics
Your mouth said this never
but your fingers have shown me
that your head is so clever
you claim that you own me
forever
You have the right to conduct me
in whatever fashion
your attempt construct me
in the interest of passion
you sent me
to toledo
I came back with handfulls
I did what you asked me
but after the thank yous
that you quickly got passed me
I'm expected
you're expecting
I'm expected
expected
but your fingers have shown me
that your head is so clever
you claim that you own me
forever
in whatever fashion
your attempt construct me
in the interest of passion
you sent me
to toledo
I did what you asked me
but after the thank yous
that you quickly got passed me
I'm expected
you're expecting
I'm expected
expected

I don't knoiw what it means lyricly but i lost my virginity to this song so that's meaningful
Since Jack has said he likes to write stories about random characters, I'm going to say that this song is about a guy whose significant other (wife , girlfriend) is pregnant (expecting). She is, like many hormonal pregnant women, sending him on a thousand arrands just because she can. (she's expecting and therefore he's expected)
I agree with lamp, that's exactly waht this song's always made me think of!
your attempt construct me in the interest of passion
i love this line.
hmm i think this is maybe my least favorite white stripes song...
this is the best black sabbath riff ever written by someone who has never been in black sabbath.
i live in toledo, thats all i know about this song.
no no no no. hes saying that hes expected (of) to do things and shes expecting that hell do all these things for her. all of the thankyous you quickly got past me: he does all this shit for her and she barely says thanks
its a long shot but i think he may be talking about his mother. maybe youve noticed but he seems to be obsessed with talking about mothers in so many songs maybe hes talking about his mother in this song aswell. maybe its his mother that was expecting of him. You have the right to conduct me in whatever fashion your attempt construct me in the interest of passion that sounds like a mother to me
this doesn't sound like iron man at all. As to what it means, not a clue. Not all of Jacks lyrics make sense. This song has a great rythm if you can appreciate its simplicity.
