I'll play second fiddle

To your new love while it lasts

Just like all the others

I've played for in the past.



Why can't I be a leader

And play a leading part

Why must I always have to play

Second fiddle in your heart?



Chorus:

Play, fiddle play

Will there never come a day

When I won't have to play the part

Of second fiddle in your heart?



--- Instrumental ---



Each time you find a new love

You leave me here to cry

The teardrops tell a story

Of a love that just won't die.



Like an early mornin' paper

The news you get just parts

Why must I always have to play

Second fiddle in your heart?



Chorus:

Play fiddle play.

Will there never come a day

When I won't have to play the part

Of second fiddle in your heart?



Chorus:

Play fiddle play.

Will there never come a day

When I won't have to play the part

Of second fiddle in your heart?...
