The Next Big Thing Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

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

    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

    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
