Everybody makes mistakes sometimes seems like I live one
When they're handing out the second tries I hope they save me some
Cause I'm gonna play for keeps this time
Don't even think of lettin' go
Cause this is the big time this is the big time
Don't you run off don't you get lost this is the big time
I never knew a social grace until I met one
The bells went off inside my head and all that other stuff
There's gonna be a lot of people callin' out your name
And saying I'm a lucky guy
Cause this is the big time...
I'm breaking your plans to stay alone
Don't treat me like a fool
Ooh that would never last too long
[ steel ]
Now we're at the place where you explain the fine points
So take my hand and make me sign on the dotted line
Yeah they really ought to put our name up in lights
But they're afraid we'll burn it down
Cause this is the big time...
This is the big time this is the big time
