Second Best

I tried to make you love me I've done everything I could
 I thought if I tried long enough maybe someday that you would
 But there was someone else before me and it's her you're lovin' still
 And I know no matter what I'd do I'm only second best
 Only second best that's all I will ever be
 Even though I'm second best you're still first with me
 And I'll be loving you when they fall my hand I guess
 I love you even though I know I'm only second best
 I know you've tried to love me and I'd hope you would in time
 I know that when you're holding me it's her that's on your mind
 Now I know you can't get over her but I love you nonless
 But it makes no difference what I'd do, I'm only second best
 Only second best that's all I will ever be
 Even though I'm second best you're still first with me
 And I'll be loving you when they fall my hand I guess
 I love you even though I know I'm only second best
 I love you even though I know I'm only second best
