| 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 |
