Verse 1:
Take another hundred names, and put them on a list
And curse yourself forever watching it
I'm not gonna have to, see it to the end
Cuz the fastest rat is always gonna win
Interlude: Cm--G#--Fm-Bb
Verse 2:
You've gotta know to hustle to make it in this town
Cause competition is stiff as ever now
Take another hundred, and put it in her hand
Present the prize and not the ambulance
Refrain 1:
You've got a certain spark You've got to show it off
What are you waiting for? They've been expecting you
Have got the brightest spark Don't let them blow it out
What are you waiting for? They've been expecting your call
Chorus:
She walks on red carpet all the time, in my eyes
Others will scoff at her clothes coming off
They will talk, let them talk
(hold)
Because you've given them just what they want
Interlude: --- (x2)
Verse 2:
(hold)
Harder than a drama softer than a porn
Oh come on fill the purse a little more
You've got something special (You've got something special)
Put it on the air
Humilation pays well by the tear
Refrain 2:
You've got a certain spark You've got to show it off
What are you waiting for? They've been expecting you
What have you been waiting for? They've been expecting your call
(Repeat Chorus)
(hold) (hold)
Given you just what they want given you just what they want
Interlude: G#--Fm-Bb (x2)
Bridge:
You'll do most anything
You'll do most anything, for the camera
A milll for a wedding ring
A thou for embarrassing, yourself
Keep that camera rolling baby
What are you waiting for?
Cuz we've been waiting for you
Oh, what are you waiting for? (Wait for it)
They've been expecting your call
(Repeat Chorus twice)
