[Verse 1]
It's good to be here, how've ya been?
Check my bags, boy, where's my room?
I sit on the phone, that's my game
Keep up the pressure all the way!
[Chorus]
I don't want to beat about the bush
But none of us are getting any younger
There's people out there who could take your place
A more commercial view, fresher face
[Verse 2]
I need a shower, take a nap
I'll meet you in the bar, we must have a rap
There's a lot on the line, a lot to say
And there's something I must tell you today
[Chorus]
You and I both knew the score
You can't go on like this forever
So it's with regret that I tell you now
That from this moment on, you're on your own
[Bridge]
I don't talk 'round corners
It's right between the eyes
If you're slow they'll run past you
Stand tall, see them falling over
I walk a straight line
It's right between the eyes
But show me the door
Show me someone who'll do it better
[Verse 3]
The drinks are on me, be my guest
Smoke a cigar? Take the best
Don't hedge your bets, we can make a deal
Got it in your pocket, how do you feel?
[Chorus]
So glad that's over, now you know
But I'm only acting under orders
And looking down on you from way up here
You've gotta sink or swim, get off the floor
[Outro]
I don't talk 'round corners
It's right between the eyes
If you're slow they'll run past you
Stand tall, see them falling over
I walk a straight line
Right between the eyes
But show me the door
Show me someone who'll do it better
