We sang a love song the day that we met You thought that we made the perfect duet You liked my performance so you wanted to know If I would stay on as the star of the show And beautiful music we made for a time 'til she changed our tune And you added new lines Our duet arrangement became a trio Now you want a star, but I just think you should know
I don't play second fiddle in nobody's band And I'm no back-up singer and I won't be a fan And I'm nobody's co-star I just play leading rolls And I don't want the part, don't want a part Won't play a part unless it's star of the show
Oh, she's stealing the show that's been so dear to my heart She's changing our song 'til I'm not sure of my part She sharing the spotlight and there's not room for both Now one or the other is the star of the show, the other goes
Life is a show and the show will go on The world is stage, loves an act we perform There's always some new act somewhere up the road And I'll always be staring in somebodies' show
I don't play second fiddle in nobody's band And I'm no back-up singer and I won't be a fan And I'm nobody's co-star I just play leading rolls And I don't want the part, don't want a part Won't play a part unless it's star of the show
I don't play second fiddle in nobody's band And I'm no back-up singer and I won't be a fan And I'm nobody's co-star I just play leading rolls And I don't want the part, don't want a part Won't play a part unless it's star of the show
If I don't star in your show Well I'm still a star and I can still go You know I got to be, I got to be the star of the show
