Eric Carmen - Overnight Sensation (hit Record) lyrics

(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)
