Playing Second Fiddle (Larry W. Jones 06/26/2007) (song#4739)

It seems like you're always up ahead
While behind is always where I tread

A failure is what I was meant to be
I would like to be the first in line
But I fear the worst is always mine
Playing second fiddle is lonely me

Playing second fiddle is where I belong
Being number one is just not my song
It's like reading the second hand news
Playing second fiddle is playing the blues

- instrumental -

It seems like you're always up ahead
While behind is always where I tread

Playing second fiddle is where I belong
Being number one is just not my song
It's like reading the second hand news
Playing second fiddle is playing the blues

Dear, don't you know I'm in love with you
Even though I know that I'm number two
There's another love who's ahead of me
Playing second fiddle is lonely me

It seems like you're always up ahead
While behind is always where I tread
There's another love who's ahead of me
Playing second fiddle is lonely me
