lately, my insecurity has got me paralyzed
look in the mirror. it's getting clearer.
i've got those enigmatic manhunt eyes.
feelin' humble, just like barney rubble
i'm just a part of someone else's show.
don't wanna be the guy who has to die,
in the middle of a star trek episode.
i don't wanna go on like frank stallone...
don't wanna be second best
i don't wanna be your second best
i go to parties, trying to be smart
i practice lines. i try to show some wit.
no matter how i say it, nobody takes the bait
and i end up in the corner eating chips.
don't wanna go through life with my (rolling 25?)
always playing second fiddle to the man
why can't i be the best? not like all the rest.
not the professor, i am mary ann.
i don't wanna be like andrew wrigley
don't wanna be second best
i don't wanna be your second best
i don't wanna go on like don oates
just second best.
everytime i turn around, i'm art garfunkeled out.
don't wanna be second be |
