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?
