Lyrics The Next Big Thing

Hello
It’s me
I’m returning your call
It’s Monday Wednesday Friday
Between noon and three
He says I
Usually just let the phone ring
But I’ve always got a minute
Of time
For the next big thing
And I wonder
How he can see
Where he’s going
With those dollar signs
In his eyes
I say thank you
For your interest
But my thing is already
Just the right size

Hello
It’s me
Yes, I’ll play for the door
Nothing more
On a Tuesday
He says baby
What is your name
I forgot
He says baby
Tell me again
Are you really hot

And I think
He does not hear
What I’m saying
He’s just looking
At my 8x10
And wondering about
The part that was left out
Does she have a body
That will really
Draw them in

How much do you want
How much are you
Willing to do
Baby, this is no business
For a sweet little
Girl like you
Can you play the game
Act it out
Frame for frame
Do you know your lines
Let me hear them
One more time

But I’d rather
Pay my dues
To the six people
Sitting at the bar
Than to all those men
In their suits
Who say I’ll take you away
From this
If you’ll just
Get in the car
