Second Best

Second Best - Jean Shepard

I know you'll never loved me

The way I love you

And I'll always be second best to you

But in my heart

I'd rather have just part of you

Than all of someone else for

There's no one else like you

I'd rather be the second one

You've loved and not to know

This feeling that

I get each time you let me hold you close

And anything to keep you with me

I would do

I'm glad that

I can be second best to you

If it's wrong to worship

You then wrong I'll be

No one else can do

The things you do to me

And just what little time

That you can spend with me

Means more than all the rest though

I'm only second best

I'd rather be the second one

You've loved and not to know

This feeling that

I get each time

You let me hold you close

And anything to keep you with me

I would do

I'm glad that

I can be second best to you
