Текстове на песни: Ani Difranco. Not So Soft. 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 business suits
Who say, "I'll take you away from this if you'll just get in the car"
