Second Fiddle
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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...
