Second Best - Dolly Parton
I tried to make you love me
I've done everything I could
I thought if I tried long enough
maybe someday that you would
But there was someone else
before me and it's her you're lovin' still
And I know no matter
what I'd do I'm only second best
Only second best that's all I will ever be
Even though I'm second
best you're still first with me
I'll be loving you
when they fall my hand I guess
I love you even though
I know I'm only second best
I know you've tried to love me
and I'd hope you would in time
I know that
when you're holding me it's her
that's on your mind
Now I know you can't get over her
but I love you nonless
But it makes no difference
what I'd do I'm only second best
Only second best...
that's all I will ever be
Even though I'm second
best you're still first with me
I still be loving you
when they fall my hand I guess
I love you even though
I know I'm only second best
I love you even though
I know I'm only second best
