| 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 |
