Hit Single Lyrics - Joe Jackson

You might have seen me hangin' 'round 

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 spread myself around 

And you can have three 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
