Once upon a time I would have
|
Moved a mountain just to know
|
Tat I was on your mind at all
|
They say love can make you blind
|
You had me wrapped around your pinky finger
|
Waiting for your midnight call
|
I was never the first pick,
|
But you knew I'd wait for you every time
|
But now I see that I was never gonna be your Mr. Right
|
Just Mr. Right next in line
|
|
I don't want to be the next best thing
|
I ain't gonna be your safety net
|
Baby, if I'm not the one you want
|
I don't wanna be the one you get
|
We could be a symphony, but I'm always second string
|
So baby if you're lonely tonight
|
It's time to find yourself another next best thing
|
Another best next thing
|
|
I've been getting used to all this elevator music
|
That you play me while I wait on hold
|
Guess you're on the other line,
|
And though I let you take your time
|
This waiting game is getting old
|
Always looking over your shoulder
|
Just in case something better comes by
|
Still hoping for the day when I'll be
|
More than second place
|
Is just a waste of my precious time
|
|
I don't want to be the next best thing
|
I ain't gonna be your safety net
|
Baby, if I'm not the one you want
|
I don't wanna be the one you get
|
We could be a symphony, but I'm always second string
|
So baby if you're lonely tonight
|
It's time to find yourself another next best thing
|
Another best next thing
|
|
I could be all you need
|
But you treat me like I'm nothing at all
|
So when his love falls through
|
Find another fool to call, oh
|
|
II don't want to be the next best thing
|
I ain't gonna be your safety net
|
Baby, if I', not the one you want
|
I don't wanna be the one you get
|
The one you get
|
|
No I won't be your safety net
|
Baby, if I'm not the one you want
|
I don't wanna be the one you get
|
We could be a symphony, but I'm always second string
|
So baby if you're lonely tonight
|
It's time to find yourself another next best thing
|
