I'll play second fiddle
to your new love while it lasts
Just like all the others
I've 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?
Chorus:
Play fiddle play
Will there never come a day
When I won't have to play the part
Of second fiddle to your heart?
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 mornin' paper,
the news you get just parts
Why must I always have to play
second fiddle to your heart?
Chorus:
Play fiddle play.
Will there never come a day
When I won't have to play the part
Of second fiddle to your heart?
to your new love while it lasts
Just like all the others
I've 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?
Chorus:
Play fiddle play
Will there never come a day
When I won't have to play the part
Of second fiddle to your heart?
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 mornin' paper,
the news you get just parts
Why must I always have to play
second fiddle to your heart?
Chorus:
Play fiddle play.
Will there never come a day
When I won't have to play the part
Of second fiddle to your heart?
