(Though I'm only second best you're still first with me)
I tried to make you love me 
I've done everything I could
I thought if I tried long enough 
Maybe someday that you would
But there was someone else before me 
And it's her you're lovin' still
And I know no matter what I'd do 
I'm only second best

Only second best that's all I will ever be
Even though I'm second best you're still first with me
And I'll be loving you when they fall my hand I guess
I love you even though I know I'm only second best

I know you've tried to love me 
And I'd hope you would in time
I know that when you're holding me 
It's her that's on your mind
Now I know you can't get over her 
But I love you nonless
But it makes no difference what I'd do 
I'm only second best

Only second best that's all I will ever be
Even though I'm second best you're still first with me
And I'll be loving you when they fall my hand I guess
I love you even though I know I'm only second best
I love you even though I know I'm only second best
