Jean Shepard - Second Best Lyrics

I know you'll never loved me the way I love you

And I'll always be second best to you

But in my heart I'd rather have just part of you

Than all of someone else for there's no one else like you

I'd rather be the second one you've loved and not to know

This feeling that I get each time you let me hold you close

And anything to keep you with me I would do

I'm glad that I can be second best to you

[ steel ]

If it's wrong to worship you then wrong I'll be

No one else can do the things you do to me

And just what little time that you can spend with me

Means more than all the rest though I'm only second best

I'd rather be the second one...
