lyrics

SECOND BEST © L KING 2008
(dedicated to the memory of JW and A.S)

I KNOW IT’S LATE /I KNOW IT’S OVER
I KNOW IT’S TIME /I WAS MOVING ON
SURELY THE LIGHT /SOON WILL BE DYING
AND I’LL GO HOME /WHERE I BELONG
BUT WHERE’S THE FIRE/WHAT IS THE REASON
I WILL GO HOME /WHEN I AM THROUGH
WHEN PUTTING ONE FOOT /IN FRONT OF THE OTHER
SEEMS LIKE THE HARDEST THING TO DO

WHEN YOU GIVE A LITTLE LOVE/IT GETS WASTED
YOU FEEL IT IN YOUR HEART /OR TRY TO FAKE IT /AND YOU GET SO CLOSE / YOU CAN TASTE IT/ALL OF THE REST JUST SEEMS SECOND BEST
MAYBE HER EYES/SHINE LIKE A DIAMOND
MAYBE HER HEART /IS WARM LIKE THE SUN
OH WHEN SHE SMILES/SHE LIGHTS UP THE DARKNESS/MAYBE THIS TIME /SHE’LL BE THE ONE/ BUT ONLY A FOOL/WOULD BUY WHAT I’M SELLING/ ONLY A BARGAIN/’COS IT’S FREE
BELIEVE ALL THE LIES / I’M SITTIN HERE TELLING
MAKIN’ A FOOL OF NONE BUT ME

THEY SAY THAT TRUE LOVE / IS ONE IN A MILLION /LIKE A HIT BY LIGHTNING /UNDER A TREE/BUT IF IT RAINS/AND I HEAR THE THUNDER/I’LL BE HERE WAITING /
LORD CARRY ME

‘COS HERE IN THIS BAR /I’LL BUY THE NEXT ROUND
FOR ALL OF MY NEW FRIENDS I JUST MADE/
HERE I WILL STAY /SAFE BUT UNSOUND
HERE AT THE END/ OF THIS RAINY DAY
