One Hit Wonderful Lyrics

Fourteen minutes and fifty-nine seconds Into our fifteen minutes of fame When the luck runs out I won't wonder who's to blame
Because nobody said they had a guaranteed way To win the hearts of the public who are easily swayed And just this time last year I thought we had it made
We were one hit wonderful, livin' the life, playin' the role We were one hit wonderful, well, it can't last long They don't love you, they just love that one song
Well, things don't last long in life, that's how it goes They'll smile and applaud then turn up their nose Things will shrink as quickly as they've grown
But it's perfectly normal for us to ask why The company wasn't untrue, they just didn't try And a new career is born, it will eventually die
We were one hit wonderful, livin' the life, playin' the role We were one hit wonderful, well, it can't last long They don't love you, they just love that one song That one song, that one song
So many lovely melodies, so many messages to convey But they don't care about any of these "Play that one damn song", is what they say, oh oh
We were one hit wonderful, livin' the life, playin' the role We were one hit wonderful, well, it can't last long They don't love you, oh, no
We were one hit wonderful, livin' the life, playin' the role We were one hit wonderful, it can't last long They don't love you, they just love that one song
