ANI DIFRANCO 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 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
