Second Best

Lyrics for Second Best

Now the days grow long And your hands and tears Are lost to the wind Take me back, take me back Let us walk by the shore By the hand, by the hair I don't care anymore With the world at your feet Leave footprints on my back I'll be first, I'll be last Don't want to need to go back Chewing gum and white wine Your cold answer's mine I'm wasting my time You know I hate to lose And maybe that's why I've left you behind I feel like I've left you behind Ain't it nice? Second best, oh Ain't it good? Second best Ain't it nice? Second best, oh Ain't it good? Second best Oh-oh Oh, against the bathroom tiles Your back goes on for miles I'm losing my mind Babe, you know it ain't fair You leave me again He's waiting downstairs There's always somebody downstairs Ain't it nice? Second best, oh Ain't it good? Second best Ain't it nice? Second best, oh Ain't it good? Second best Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah What do I do to be better for you? (Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah) What do I do to be better for you? (Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah) What do I do to be better for you? (Now the days grow long) What do I do to be better for you? (And your hands and tears are all lost, to the wind) (What do I do to be better for you?) Take me back, take me back Let us walk by the shore By the hand, by the hair I don't care anymore (What do I do) With the world at your feet (To be better for you?) Leave footprints on my back I'll be first, I'll be last Don't want to, need to go back Ain't it nice? Second best Ain't it good? Second best Ain't it nice? Second best, oh Ain't it good? Second best (Ain't it nice) Take me back, take me back (Second best) Let us walk by the shore (Ain't it nice) By the hand, by the hair (Second best) I don't care anymore (Ain't it nice) With the world at your feet (Second best) Leave footprints on my back (Ain't it nice) I'll be first, I'll be last Don't want to, need to go back
