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?
