We sang a love song the day that we met

You thought that we made the perfect duet

You liked my performance so you wanted to know

If i would stay on as the star of the show

And beautiful music we made for a time 'til she changed our tune

And you added new lines

Our duet arrangement became a trio

Now you want a star, but i just think you should know

Chorus:



I dont play second fiddle in nobodys band

And i'm no back-up singer and i wont be a fan

And i'm nobodys co-star

I just play leading rolls

And i dont want the part, dont want a part

Wont play a part unless its star of the show



Oh, shes stealing the show thats been so dear to my heart

Shes changing our song 'til im not sure of my part

She sharing the spotlight and theres not room for both

Now one or the other is the star of the show, the other goes



Life is a show and the show will go on

The world is stage, loves an act we perform

Theres always some new act somewhere up the road

And ill always be staring in somebodies' show



Repeat chorus twice



If i dont star in your show

Well im still a star and i can still go

You know i got to be, i got to be the star of the show
