Lyric Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)

(Eric Carmen)

Well I know it sounds funny
But I m not in it for the money, no
I don t need reputation
And I m not in it for the show

I just want a hit record
Want to hear it on the radio
Want a big hit record
One that everybody s got to know

Well the program director don t pull it
Then it s bound to get back the bullet
So bring the group down to the station
You re gonna be an overnight sensation

I ve been tryin to write the lyric
Not offensive but satiric, too
If you can get it in the "A" slot
It s just gotta make a mint for you

And I want a hit record
Want to hear it on the radio
Want a big hit record
One that everybody s got to own

Overnight sensation

I fit the words
To a good melody
Amazing how success
Has been ignoring me so long

I ve used my bread
Making demos all day
And writing in the night
While in my head I hear
The record play
Hear it play

Hit record, yeah
Want a hit record, yeah
Want a hit record, yeah
(Number one)
Want a hit record, yeah
(Number one)
