I'll play second fiddle to your new love while it lasts

Just like all the others I played for in the past

Why can't I be a leader and play your leading part

Why must I always have to play second fiddle in your heart

Play fiddle play will there never come a day

When I won't have to play the part of second fiddle in your heart

[ fiddle ]

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 morning paper the news you get just part

Why must I always have to play second fiddle in your heart

Play fiddle play...
