Album: An Evening With Diana Ross

I Hope I Get It

(Marvin Hamlisch/Ed Kleban)
Everyday for a week we would try to be a table
Be a sportscar, ice cream cone
The teacher, he would say
";Very good except Diana, try, Diana, all alone";
So I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
To see how an ice cream felt
I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
And I tried to melt
So the kids in the class said:
";Ooh, I feel chocolate, hey, I feel vanilla";
He said ";OK Ross, what do you feel?";
And I said nothing, I ain't feeling nothing
Deep down nothing is all my teacher had
Everybody felt something
But I felt nothing
Except the feeling that this bull-shit was absurd
