Jimmy Soul’s “If You Wanna Be Happy”
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
I’m going to deny this entry on the grounds that Tom Cochrane is in no way a One Hit Wonder. 
Palmer was hardly a one-hit wonder. “Addicted to Love” was a big hit, and so was “Some Like It Hot” with Palmer as the lead singer of Power Station.
You chose the song I was going to post, but not the same line:
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.
I find that to be true, with the Big Bang being the sole exception.
Just to be the man who walks 1,000 miles
To fall down at your door
We never talk
There was a time when there weren’t enough words to say
We never touch
But I remember when I couldn’t keep my hands away
“We’ve Got to Get It On Again,” Addrisi Bros
Nitpick - you mean one hit wonders in the USA.
Yeah, you’re right. I zeroed in on the profound truths part, and, with images of Palmer’s all-models band going through my head, forgot all about the “one hit wonder” part.
ETA: Oh, yeah, don’t forget “I Didn’t Mean To Turn You On”.
The guy definitely was not a one hit wonder.
Timbuk 3: “The Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades”
“Fifty thou a year – buys a lot of beer”
I was thinking of this line:
“Time for you to go out to the places you will be from.”
The idea being that you make who you are, whether you want to or not. Also, I’ve moved around a bit, and I often wonder where exactly I’ll end up.
A profound truth in a hit song, yes, but certainly no One Hit Wonder. The Sweet were one of the biggest pop groups of the early '70’s all over Europe.
The rythym is magic, feel it in your soul, rhythym is the power of creation - in every living thing… the force within.

Well, snake mountain blues, they got me down low. I could die in the morning, aint noone would know.
Ohh, ohh, I got one!
“I was born a wrangler and a rounder
and I guess I always will”
Heard It In A Love Song
~Marshall Tucker Band
Must be a sorry life, all for money and strife, forsaking a family and a wife.
I didn’t follow much country music back in the day, so I suspect that Lynn Anderson was not a one-hit wonder within the genre, but I Never Promised You a Rose Garden was a crossover hit when I was a kid…
Those lines always stuck in my head - it mashed two cliche’s together and used them to say something different and interesting…
…and I am not going to quibble much about the One-Hit Wonderness of the song. Robert Palmer’s line about “she’s so fine…” is one of the most profound truths ever…up there with Mike Tyson’s:
