I wanna be an amateur forever
Wanna do it all for fun
But simple living is expensive
And without money I might come undone
I wanna make my songs for the love of it
And never burn out
And still be treated as a professional
And stand behind my work without any doubt
Oh nobody else can tell you
How to make the most of it
Ooh nobody else can tell you
How your puzzle pieces will begin to fit
Amateur (Do it for love)
Amateur (Gettin just enough)
Amateur (Make the gig pay)
Amateur (Don't forget how to play)
I wanna be the old lady at the coffee shop
Playin songs about her past
With a glimmer in the corner of her eye
Cus she figured out how to make the magic last
Amateur (Do it for love)
Amateur (Gettin just enough)
Amateur (Make the gig pay)
Amateur (Don't forget how to play)
Oh nobody else can tell you
How to make the most of it
Ooh nobody else can tell you
How your puzzle pieces will begin to fit
Amateur (Do it for love)
Amateur (Gettin just enough)
Amateur (Make the gig pay)
Amateur (Don't forget how to play)
