SMASH Cast, Katharine McPhee, Megan Hilty - Big Finish (SMASH Cast Version) lyrics

Hi, Karen Cartwright

Hi, Ivy Lynn

Are you ready to give the
People what they want?

Always

I stumbled around a bit while looking for
My big break

Some gentlemen opened doors but
Once inside they were all on the make

To sparkle I lit a match and
I admit some bridges were burned

Oh, but we won't flop on our way to the top
’Cause there's one damn thing we've learned

I give them that big finish
And they’ll forget what came before
Just give them that big finish
But always keep one eye on the door

So I give this lesson to you my friend

They'll forgive and forget if you're
Good in the end

Just give them that big finish
And leave them wanting more

You struggle from step to step

Just praying to find the one

The love that you want disappears

As the love that you need
Settles in for a run

You think that you're down for the count

But then just like a phoenix you rise

And with some help from above

Be it Tonys

Or love

You'll be leaving tonight with the prize

Life gives you that big finish
You'll just forget what came before
Just give them that big finish
And who knows what next year has in store

Though the story's finished

We'll keep dreaming on

And though we’re sure to miss

Our song when it’s gone

Let's give them that big finish
And leave them wanting more

Hear the angels shout "Encore!"
Yeah we’ll leave them
We'll leave the people wanting

More!

More!

Come on, Karen Cartwright

Where are we going?

Show's over
