Seems I'm always right behind never first in line
A winner maybe I'm not meant to be
Number one would be just fine but I guess I'm not that kind
Second fiddle seems to be the role for me
Second fiddle never has the spotlight second fiddle never makes the news
Second fiddle never plays a love song second fiddle only plays the blues

He'll wind up with you I'll be number two
Second fiddle seems to be the role for me
Second fiddle never has...
