Lyrics Barry Manilow

Barry Manilow

15 Minutes

Can't call it a life

Knowing what I got inside of me

Working a job

That any poor slob could fill

Watching the fireworks fly up

Out of some fairground

Over the hill

Fifteen minutes

Don't let me be an untold story

Fifteen minutes

A nothing name

That no one ever knew

Fifteen minutes

Light the fuse

I'll fly my way to glory

Comin' through

Comin' through

Fifteen minutes

That's me within a blaze of glory

Fifteen minutes

A shooting star

Among the precious few

Fifteen minutes

Here I come

I'll be the leading story

Comin' through

I'm comin' through

Comin' through

There's somebody else

Taking a turn in the spotlight

Feeling that love

And spinning above the clouds

Here I am just a nobody

Longing for hot light

Lost in the crowd

Fifteen minutes

Don't let me be an untold story

Fifteen minutes

A song so low

That no one ever heard

Fifteen minutes

Make a deal

I'd sell my guts for glory

Say the word

Say the word

Say the word

Oh whoa, just gimme my shot

Riding the world like a rocket

Painting the sky

For all of those eyes below

Wouldn't I fly the farthest

Couldn't you clock it

Wouldn't I go?

Fifteen minutes

Don't let me be an untold story

Fifteen minutes

Break the mold

And get me up to speed

Fifteen minutes

Light the fuse

And I'll lift off to glory

All I need

All I need

Is fifteen minutes

That's me within a blaze of glory

Fifteen minutes

I'd sell my soul

In order to succeed

Fifteen minutes

They'll be tellin'

My amazing story

All I need

All I need

All I need

All I need

Fifteen minutes

I give it fifteen minutes

I give it fifteen minutes
