Lyrics
She never misses out, cause she's never Late. she never thinks twice, she just lets him wait. Old Friends just bring her down, she's got new friends from uptown. And she'll never let them know that she's got a Second Hand Lover she is letting go.
She likes riding in expensive cars with her new friends. she goes to all the hot spots with them and they let her in. While he just sits and waits, He knows she will be out late. He's loved her since she was a girl, his Second Hand Lover, she is his whole world.
Second Hand Lover
No matter what she does, she's gonna get gone and say goodbye.
Her new found friends just laugh when they see her walk by. They say go back to your second hand life with him. she's glad to go back cause she's been missin him.
Her Second Hand lover, he's been counting the days. If she really loved him, would she go runnin away? He's waited as long as he can, his heart grown cold, he understands she'll come running back to him. but her Second Hand Lover, He won't let her in.
Second hand lover let go
And he can't take the time to see her now he's got things that he needs to do. His hearts been broken and he's letting go. She calls beggin, but he says no, her Second Hand Lover he is letting go. Her Second Hand Lover He Just let her go...
