Next Best Thing

Lyrics

[Intro] (1, 2, 3, 4) Woah-oh-oh ooh-ooh Woah-oh-oh ooh-ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Woah-oh-oh ooh-ooh Woah-oh-oh ooh-ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh [Verse 1] Once upon a time I would have Moved a mountain just to know That I was on your mind at all They say love can make you blind You had me wrapped around your pinky finger Waiting for your midnight call I was never the first pick But you knew I'd wait for you every time But now I see that I was never gonna be your Mr. Right Just Mr. Right next in line [Chorus] I don't wanna be the next best thing I ain't gonna be your safety net Baby, if I'm not the one you want I don't wanna be the one you get We could be a symphony, but I'm always second string So baby if you're lonely tonight It's time to find yourself another next best thing Woah-oh-oh ooh-ooh Woah-oh-oh ooh-ooh Another next best thing Woah [Verse 2] See I've been getting used to all this elevator music That you're playin' while I wait on hold Yes, you're on the other line And oh, I let you take your time This waiting game is getting old Always looking over your shoulder Just in case something better comes by Still hoping for the day when I'll be More than second place Is just a waste of my precious time [Chorus] I don't wanna be the next best thing I ain't gonna be your safety net Baby, if I'm not the one you want I don't wanna be the one you get We could be a symphony, but I'm always second string So baby if you're lonely tonight It's time to find yourself another next best thing [Bridge] I could be all you need But you treat me like I'm nothing at all So when his love falls through Find another fool to call, oh [Chorus] I don't wanna be the next best thing I ain't gonna be your safety net Baby, if I'm not the one you want I don't wanna be the one you get The one you get No, I won't be your safety net Baby, if I'm not the one you want I don't wanna be the one you get We could be a symphony, but I'm always second string So baby if you're lonely tonight It's time to find yourself another next best thing [Outro] Woah-oh-oh ooh-ooh Woah-oh-oh ooh-ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Woah-oh-oh ooh-ooh Woah-oh-oh ooh-ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh
