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
