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, living the life, playing 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
Company wasn't untrue, they just didn't try
And a new career is born, it will eventually die
We were one hit wonderful, living the life, playing 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
We were one hit wonderful, living the life, playing 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, living the life, playing the role
We were one hit wonderful, it can't last long
They don't love you, they just love that one song
