Joe Jackson - Hit Single lyrics

rate me

You might have seen me hangin' around

I never miss one night I could be on the town

I used to be another one like you

Always running home to that special one or two

And when I think of all the years of finding out

What I already knew

Now I spead myself around

And you can have 3 minutes too

'Cause I'm a hit single

Lookin' out for number one

I got a line or two that never fail

And every time you look around I'll be there on your tail

I'm nothing special but I don't give in

Before you know it I'll be there right underneath your skin

And if you think that being serious and smart

Gets you where you should be

You must be not only joking

But way too heavy for me

'Cause I'm a hit single

Goin' straight to number one

And when I die and go to pure pop heaven

The angels will gather around

And ask me for my whole life story

And ask for that fabulous sound

But I know they're gonna stop me

As I start going through every line

And say please not the whole damn album

Nobody has that much time

Please . . .

Just the hit single

You gotta love that number one
