Amateur Hour - Joe Jackson

Dont make me sad

Talking bout tomorrow

Its not so bad

We were doing fine just then

Youll move on up, youll move on out

And you wont cry

cause your amateur hour is over

Youre only going where Ive been

And youll see what Ive seen

Youre no amateur — amateur

You know if someone likes your face

Youd be a fool to stay strictly amateur

Its strictly for amateurs

The world could be a better place

If some of us could stay

Amateurs

Theres no more time

To think about the way ahead

Just miss one line

Fall over — youll be left for dead

Your heart will play no part except

When memories of your amateur hour take over

Then screw yourself into a ball

And keep it rolling on Youre no amateur — amateur

You know if someone likes your face

Youd be a fool to stay strictly amateur

Its strictly for amateurs

The world could be a better place

If some of us could stay

Amateurs

Dont make me sad

Its not so bad
