second to no one

i don't want to be the sole survivor

i don't want to close it down

i don't want to know what goes on between you

whenever i ain't around

i don't want to be the last to hear it

and i don't want to live apart

but i don't want to wear your diamond ring

if you won't give me your heart

i don't think you know how bad you treat me

but i can't live like a whore

she thinks she's got the key to your heart

now i've got to wait by the door

if i could only learn to make you love me

i'll make you love me like i love you

if i could give you what i want to give you

i'd want to give you a heart that's true

i don't want to know how long you're leaving

and i don't want to know why

if i can't lie in your arms this evening

i'll just stay home and cry

i don't want to be second to no one

i don't want to let it be

i don't know what's going to happen tomorrow

but tonight you belong here with me

i don't know if this can last forever

'cause i don't know what i can stand

i can love you like a man should be loved

but i can't love half a man

if i could only learn to make you love me

i'd make you love me like i love you

if i could give you what i want to give you

i'd want to give you a heart that's true

if i could only learn to make you love me

i'd make you love me like i love you

if i could give you what i want to give you

i'd want to give you a heart that's true
