One Hit Wonderful (Best Of) - Reel Big Fish

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
