Lyrics
If I was a one hit wonder, well wouldn't life be great
Maybe then Winona Ryder would go out with me on a date
I'd buy a house in Italy and another in L.A.
I'd stay out late every night and sleep in every day
I'd hang out with Liv Tyler and Orlando Bloom
I'd have my birthday parties at the Viper Room
If I was a one hit wonder, wouldn't it be great
Maybe then Uma Thurman would go out with me on a date
I'd swap jokes with Billy Connolly, I'd drink with Michael Cain
They'd check me in to Betty Ford and I'd check right out again
I'd buy seven Porshe convertibles - one for every day
Then seven more with hard tops - in case it looked like rain
If I was a one hit wonder, well wouldn't life be great
Maybe then Heather Graham would go out with me on a date
(Inst.)
If I was a one hit wonder - wouldn't it be great
Maybe then Charlie's Angels would go out with me on a date.
But I am just a no hit wonder, whose girlfriend left him yesterday
She told me I am just a dreamer, that I would wish my life away
Now I wish she'd come back to me
Oh now wouldn't it be grand
Baby if you'll come back to me
I swear to God I'll quit the band
