The Next Big Thing lyrics

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

Yes I've always got a minute of time

For the next big thing"

And I wonder

How can he see where he's going

with those dollar signs in front of his eyes?

I say, "Thank you

For your interest

But my thing is already

Just the right size"

And 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 eight by ten

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's 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 business suits

Who say, "I'll take you away from this

If you'll just

Get in the car"

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

Yes I've always got a minute of time

For the next big thing

Yes I've always got a minute of time

For the next big thing"

Yes, they've always got a minute of time

For the next big thing

Yes, they've always got a minute of time

For the next big thing
