Don't make me sad 
Talking 'bout tomorrow 
It's not so bad 
We were doing fine just then
You'll move on up, you'll move on out 
And you won't cry 
'Cause your amateur hour is over 
You're only going where I've been
And you'll see what I've seen 

You're no amateur - amateur 
You know if someone likes your face 
You'd be a fool to stay strictly amateur 
It's strictly for amateurs
The world could be a better place 
If some of us could stay 
Amateurs 

There's no more time
To think about the way ahead 
Just miss one line 
Fall over - you'll 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 


You're no amateur - amateur 
You know if someone likes your face 
You'd be a fool to stay strictly amateur 
It's strictly for amateurs
The world could be a better place 
If some of us could stay 
Amateurs

Don't make me sad 
It's not so bad
