Sam Tsui - Next Best Thing Lyrics
Once upon a time I would haveMoved a mountain just to knowThat I was on your mind at allThey say love can make you blindYou had me wrapped around your pinky fingerWaiting for your midnight callI was never the first pickBut you knew I'd wait for you every timeBut now I see that I was never gonna be your Mr. RightJust Mr. Right next in lineI don't wanna be the next best thingI ain't gonna be your safety netBaby, if I'm not the one you wantI don't wanna be the one you getWe could be a symphony, but I'm always second stringSo baby if you're lonely tonightIt's time to find yourself another next best thingAnother next best thingSee I've been getting used to all this elevator musicThat you play me while I wait on holdGuess you're on the other line,And though I let you take your timeThis waiting game is getting oldAlways looking over your shoulderJust in case something better comes byStill hoping for the day when I'll beMore than second placeIs just a waste of my precious timeI don't wanna be the next best thingI ain't gonna be your safety netBaby, if I'm not the one you wantI don't wanna be the one you getWe could be a symphony, but I'm always second stringSo baby if you're lonely tonightIt's time to find yourself another next best thingAnother next best thingI could be all you needBut you treat me like I'm nothing at allSo when his love falls throughFind another fool to call, ohI don't wanna be the next best thingI ain't gonna be your safety netBaby, if I'm not the one you wantI don't wanna be the one you getThe one you getNo, I won't be your safety netBaby, if I'm not the one you wantI don't wanna be the one you getWe could be a symphony, but I'm always second stringSo baby if you're lonely tonightIt's time to find yourself another next best thing
