[00:18.010] Once upon a time I would have
[00:20.010] Moved a mountain just to know
[00:21.570] That I was on your mind at all
[00:24.630] They say love can make you blind
[00:26.710] You had me wrapped around your pinky finger
[00:29.270] Waiting for your midnight call
[00:32.390] I was never the first pick
[00:36.270] But you knew I'd wait for you every time
[00:40.330] But now I see that I was never gonna be your Mr. Right
[00:44.640] Just Mr. Right next in line
[00:46.890] .
[00:47.210] I don't wanna be the next best thing
[00:50.900] I ain't gonna be your safety net
[00:54.840] Baby, if I'm not the one you want
[00:58.840] I don't wanna be the one you get
[01:04.210] We could be a symphony, but I'm always second string
[01:11.460] So baby if you're lonely tonight
[01:14.580] It's time to find yourself another next best thing
[01:24.560] Another next best thing
[01:27.870] .
[01:34.550] See I've been getting used to all this elevator music
[01:38.180] That you play me while I wait on hold
[01:41.610] Guess you're on the other line,
[01:43.610] And though I let you take your time
[01:45.990] This waiting game is getting old
[01:48.740] Always looking over your shoulder
[01:53.240] Just in case something better comes by
[01:57.510] Still hoping for the day when I'll be
[01:59.640] More than second place
[02:00.890] Is just a waste of my precious time
[02:04.010] .
[02:04.260] I don't wanna be the next best thing
[02:07.760] I ain't gonna be your safety net
[02:11.510] Baby, if I'm not the one you want
[02:15.700] I don't wanna be the one you get
[02:20.510] We could be a symphony, but I'm always second string
[02:28.130] So baby if you're lonely tonight
[02:31.260] It's time to find yourself another next best thing
[02:37.090] .
[02:37.470] I could be all you need
[02:39.340] But you treat me like I'm nothing at all
[02:42.710] So when his love falls through
[02:45.030] Find another fool to call, oh
[02:50.160] .
[02:50.460] I don't wanna be the next best thing
[02:53.910] I ain't gonna be your safety net
[02:57.780] Baby, if I'm not the one you want
[03:01.720] I don't wanna be the one you get
[03:04.160] The one you get
[03:05.910] .
[03:06.280] No, I won't be your safety net
[03:13.230] Baby, if I'm not the one you want
[03:17.040] I don't wanna be the one you get
[03:22.350] We could be a symphony, but I'm always second string
[03:29.610] So baby if you're lonely tonight
[03:32.600] It's time to find yourself another next best thing
[03:37.850] .
