Second Best Lyrics - Nerf Herder

Lately, my insecurity has got me paralyzed 

Look in the Mirror. It's getting clearer. 

I've got those Ed McMahon 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 role as Barney Fife 

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 Ridgeley 

Don't wanna be Second Best 

I don't wanna be your Second Best 

I don't wanna go on like John Oates 

Just second best.
