Only Getting Second Best

Mike Vernon, Richie Hayward

The years pass by, and I'm marking my time
Waiting for the day that I can call you mine
It's lonely when you're on your own
And you have no helping hand
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 played for number one
And I let you go

Like the blind leadin' the blind, baby
And the fool actin' a fool
[?]
I didn't play to the rules
They say a cat has nine lives, and they'll bring you love
Well, I don't know about that, baby, but look at all the bad luck I got stuck

I'm getting second best, baby
That's what hurts me so
I played for number one
And I let you go, oh baby

[Guitar Solo]

I'm getting sеcond best, baby
That's what hurts me so
I said I played, playеd for number one, baby
Yeah, I let you go

Hey, baby
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
