Second Best - John Wetton

When you called me, and you told me that you needed someone

I was hoping that that someone was me

Here you are and now I know that I’ve been fooling myself

If you love someone else

Don’t come running to me for help, ‘cause

I don’t wanna know how he broke your heart, ‘n'

I don’t wanna know how you cried

I won’t stand in his shoes, I won’t play the part, not like the rest, no

I’m never gonna be your second best

I remember when you left me all the reasons you gave

Why his love would be much stronger than mine

You believed his promises, but all that glitters ain’t gold

Won’t fall for it again

Using me to get back at him, so

I don’t wanna know how he broke your heart, ‘n'

I don’t wanna know how you cried

I won’t stand in his shoes, I won’t play the part, not like the rest, no

I’m never gonna be your second best

Oh it hurts, for you, girl

It’s the end of your world

What about me?

When you left

How’s it feel to be second best?
