"Alright ladies and gentlemen Have a seat Enjoy yourselves Here we go" My friends got a runner-up girlfriend Subbing in when his is gone Missed the role but she's winning the attention He's off the deep end Alright Tried to tell him he should choose one and keep them Can't afford a house and a home I can't Tell who is really Third wheelin I'm on the defense Who's on the team? Runner up Take a rest and you're getting passed Runner up Second best can be first or last Runner up My friend's got a problem with commitment A tendency of taking things slow She's the type to talk and never get Waits for the weekend Postpones That girl has wasted most of her young life Kinda sitting around waiting it out til it's good Playin the victim when she misses the ride Well now you know why she's the one that's Runner up Take a rest and you're getting passed Runner up Second best can be first or last Runner up Maybe they were born with it Or maybe they had a choice too Don't say I didn't warn you It might just happen to you And when you wake up in the morning And you look around the room That participation trophy's just reminding you of what you can't do I got a friend - he's over it He keeps trying to play by the rules Reaches the end and has to start again He's kinda thinking that he's been the fool What should he do? Keep giving in? Seems like it's time to try something new Whatever it takes, he's gonna win I think he's finished being number two Runner up Take a rest and you're getting passed Runner up Second best can be first or last Runner up Take a rest and you're getting passed Runner up Second best can be first or last
