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
Chorus:
I don't play second fiddle in nobodys band
And I'm no back-up singer and I wont be a fan
And I'm nobodys co-star
I just play leading rolls
And I don't want the part, don't want a part
Wont play a part unless it's star of the show
Oh, she's stealing the show that's been so dear to my heart
Shes 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
Repeat chorus twice
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
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 Chorus: I don't play second fiddle in nobodys band And I'm no back-up singer and I wont be a fan And I'm nobodys co-star I just play leading rolls And I don't want the part, don't want a part Wont play a part unless it's star of the show Oh, she's stealing the show that's been so dear to my heart Shes 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 Repeat chorus twice 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 Explain Request ×
