One Hit Wonder

Everyone I know stumbles on a song
And they love their songs, hell I love their songs
Hit after hit and tat for tit
But it seems that I've been gettin' it wrong
Well, some guys are happy to hit and run
But I don't think that'd be much fun
I'd rather turn you into all the records I should have made

I don't ever wanna be your one hit wonder
Honey, would you be my greatest hit?
If I sold this song, I'd be pimpin' ya' out
Be my inspiration, darlin', be my box set

I wrote my first song at the age of 15
And didn't touch that instrument again for a year
But I picked it back up cause I thought I knew how to use it
Hoping my words could nibble her ears
But I couldn't get her to sing along
And I learned that you can't force a song
It's like writing wedding vows for a prostitute

And I don't ever wanna be your one hit wonder
Honey, would you be my greatest hit?
If I sold this song, I'd be pimpin' ya' out
Be my inspiration, darlin', be my box set

I wrote a million tunes like I was practicing
So I could get 'em all right for you
Well, I need you to be my capo
Or could you keep me in tune?
You won't have to do much, just be yourself
And we'll move into the Brill Building
And we'll audition our songs and we'll let the neighbors watch

Cause I don't ever wanna be your one hit wonder
Honey, would you be my greatest hit?
If I sold this song, I'd be pimpin' ya' out
Be my inspiration, darlin'

I don't ever wanna be your one hit wonder
Honey, would you be my greatest hit?
If I sold this song, I'd be pimpin' ya' out
Be my inspiration, darlin', be my box set
