Second To No One Lyrics

Second To No One lyrics

SECOND TO NO ONE



(Rosanne Cash)



I don't want to be the sole survivor

I don't want to close it down

I don't want to know what goes on between you

Whenever I ain't around



I don't want to be the last to hear it

And I don't want to live apart

But I don't want to wear your diamond ring

If you won't give me your heart



I don't think you know how bad you treat me

But I can't live like a whore

She thinks she's got the key to your heart

Now I've got to wait by the door



If I could only learn to make you love me

I'll make you love me like I love you

If I could give what I want to give you

I'd want to give you a heart that's true



I don't want to know how long you're leaving

And I don't want to know why

If I can't lie in your arms this evening

I'll just stay home and cry



I don't want to be second to no one

I don't want to let it be

I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow

But tonight you belong here with me



I don't know if this can last forever

Cause I don't know what I can stand

I can love you like a man should be loved

But I can't love half a man



If I could only learn to make you love me

I'd make you love me like I love you

If I could give you what I want to give you

I'd want to give you a heart that's true
