Lyrics
You keep tellin' me our day will come
One day you will make me number one
Hear me well I'm tellin' you
I'm tired of bein' number two
Promises are all I ever hear
Whispered oh so gently in my ear
All alone and feelin' blue
I'm tired of bein' number two
I never thought I'd doubt you
Have second thoughts about you
I can't believe I feel this way
If it's a game you're playin'
Listen to what I'm sayin'
Honey I don't wanna play
You just let me talk but all the while
You pretend to listen and you smile
Though I love you yes I do
I'm tired of bein' number two
(Repeat bridge & third verse tag as shown)
You just let me talk but all the while
You pretend to listen and you smile
Though I love you yes I do
I'm stuck here in the middle
Just playin' second fiddle
I'm tired of bein' number two
