Lyrics

ONE TAKE


Verse: I used to wonder what it might be like,
Directing old movies in black and white,
For Bogie or Brando or Fred Astaire,
I was their big-time director in my big-time chair.


Verse: I told 'em we'd stay there if it took all night.
I cut every scene until we got it right.
Then somewhere in my head a little voice told me,
"That's fine for the movies, but it's not reality . . . 'cause . . .



CHORUS: When it comes to life, you only get one take!
You got to make it count, there's so much at stake.
It's not a dress rehearsal, it's your big break.
Lights, camera, action, you only get one take!



Verse: Sometimes I think the world is passing me by,
Like I'm in a movie about my life,
And I only get to play the smallest part,
But then I hear that voice tell me I'm the star . . . 'cause . . .


(Repeat CHORUS)


One take! One take! You only get one take! Yeah, . . .


(Repeat CHORUS)
