Movie stars and fancy cars delight you 
Gala balls and opening nights excite you 
I don't have my name in lights, I'm just a simple boy 
Don't you hesitate to call me 
When only second best will do 
Cover girls wearing pearls inspire you 
French champagne and designer clothes incite you 
You're not in the magazines, you're just a simple girl 
Don't you hesitate to call me 
When only second best will do 
Why do we want to live in a fantasy? 
There's a better place for you and me right here in 
reality 
'Cause this love is what dreams are made of 
I hope you never have to settle for even less 
I'll work in a factory to support you 
Give you 3 screaming kids to annoy you 
Expect the worst and we won't be disappointed 
So don't you hesitate to call me 
When only second best will do
