Only Getting Second Best Lyrics

Years past by
And I'm marking my time
Waiting for the day
That I could call you mine
It's lonely when you're on your own
And you have no happyness
Which way you turn
You feel like a drowning man

I'm getting second best baby,
and that's what hurts me so
You know I pray for number one
And I lett you go
Like the blind leed the blind baby
And a fool like no fool
I didn't play to the rule

They say I can't have my life
And they will bring you love
Well, I don't know about that babe
But look, at all the bad luck I got struck
I'm getting second best baby,
and that's what hurts me so
You know I pray for number one
And I lett you go, oh babe

I'm getting second best baby,
and that's what hurts me so
I'll say I pray for number one
And I lett you go, heyhey babe
