Fourteen minutes and fifty-nine seconds into our fifteen minutes of fame
When the luck runs out, I wont wonder whos 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 cant last long
They dont love you
They just love that one song
Well, things dont last long in life; thats how it goes
Theyll smile and applaud, then turn up their nose
Things will shrink as quickly as theyve grown
But its perfectly normal for us to ask why
The company wasnt untrue, they just didnt 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 cant last long
They dont 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 dont care about any of these
"Play that one damn song!" is what they say
We were One Hit Wonderful
Livin the life, playin the role
We were One Hit Wonderful
Well, it cant last long
They dont love you
Oh, no!
We were One Hit Wonderful
Livin the life, playin the role
We were One Hit Wonderful
Well, it cant last long
They dont love you
They just love that one song
