Second Best Lyrics - Jean Shepard

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...
