Songtexte This Could Be the One - Remastered - Johnny Rivers

Well, I've been trying for so long to be a hit-making man
But every record that I've made so far wound up in the garbage can
Well, I've tried every gimmick you can think of
There's nothing I haven't done
Ah, but look out world, this could be the one

I wish I had a dollar for every record that I've made
The only trouble that I had was trying to get 'em played
Well, I've bugged every DJ from coast to coast
When they see me coming, they run
Ah, but look out world, this could be the one

I said, this could, could be the one
Uh-huh, there's nothing I ain't done
Yeah, this could, could be the one

Well, my agent sent me a letter today and he sounded mighty sore
He said, "If this record ain't a hit
Boy, you ain't gonna cut no more"
Well, if I don't make the chart, it's gonna break my heart
I'll have to go out and get me a gun
Ah, but look out world, this could be the one

Well, this could, could be the one
Uh-huh, there's nothing I ain't done
Well, this could, could be the one, uh-huh

Well, my agent sent me a letter today and he sounded mighty sore
He said, "If this record ain't a hit
Boy, you ain't gonna cut no more"
Well, if I don't make the chart, it's gonna break my heart
I'll have to go out and buy me a gun
Ah, please world, this gotta be the one

I got my fingers crossed
(Could be the one)
You know, my car payment's due
Oh my God, it's my last chance
