"Second Choice" lyrics

Second Choice

I need you
But I know that you fool around
You're the best thing that I have
And it's breaking me
Cause it's breaking down
Well, I loved you before
And you can be sure
It's a hell of a place to be

And you said to me
That I won't get another chance
Well, you loved me once
And I loved you twice
And you never listen to my voice
If you're strong enough
Then you'll never be the second choice

It's daybreak
Sun is rising across the hill
And I'm so afraid to wake
Just in case you might not
Be laying there still
Well, I told you last night
That I'll get it right
As a lover I'll be on my knees

And you said to me
That I won't get another chance
Well, you loved me once
But I loved you twice
And you never listen to my voice
If you're strong enough
Then you'll never be the second choice

He's crying
She's lying
Hearts aching
Souls breaking
Will this be his lucky day?
Over and over
Her head on his shoulder
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

I need you
And I knew that you'd let me down
You're the best thing that I have
And it's breaking me
Cause it's broken down
Well, I told you last night
That I'll get it right
As a lover I'll be on my knees

And you said to me
That I won't get another chance
Well, you loved me once
But I loved you twice
And you never listen to my voice
If you're strong enough
Then you'll never be the second choice
