The Next Big Thing — текст песни (Ani Difranco)

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
