Big Time Lyrics - Singles - Linda Eder

He said you've got the good to make the big time 

And then he puffed on his cigar 

We'll make a killing, we'll get top billing 

I'm gonna make you a star 

First we'll improve a bit on Mother Nature 

I got a doctor friend you'll see 

Imagination plus augmentation 

Voila, a brand new me! 

To get to the big time 

You need big time looks 

A shady accountant 

Who can cook the books 

A couple of well-placed friends 

Some dynamite eight by tens 

Before you can reap 

Those big time dividends 

Before you know it I was movin' up there 

Dom Perignon and caviar 

A late night "Yes Sir" leads to good press Sir 

And takes a girl pretty far 

So now my name's in lights about the title 

Or it's not on the dotted line 

On the back-lots now, I call the shots now 

When there's a contract to sign I'm up in the big time 

So I make them wait 

I'm up in the big time 

So I'm always late 

I tell them all "Let's do lunch" 

Then give them that one-two-punch 

I'm part of the big-brass, first class 

Big time bunch 

I hit the right places 

I cover my bases 

I do what I have to 

Smile till it hurts, baby 

Wear shorter skirts, baby 

Cry in a pinch, baby 

But I won't dare 

Give a single square inch, baby 

Up here in the big time 

I've got big time friends 

Who want to make sure 

My big time never ends 

My motto is: "I've got mine" 

I live on the bottom line 

Up here in the "A-Team," wet-dream 

Big, big time! 

It's coming up roses 

And Barrymore noses 

Worth all the sweat, dear? 

Worth it? ...You bet dear! 

When you make that climb 

From the nickel and dime 

To the simply sublime... 

Big time!
