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抰 play second fiddle in nobody抯 band
And I'm no back-up singer and I won抰 be a fan
And I'm nobody抯 co-star
I just play leading rolls
And I don抰 want the part, don抰 want a part
Won抰 play a part unless it抯 star of the show

Oh, she抯 stealing the show that抯 been so dear to my heart
She抯 changing our song 'til I抦 not sure of my part
She sharing the spotlight and there抯 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抯 always some new act somewhere up the road
And I抣l always be staring in somebodies' show

Repeat Chorus Twice

If I don抰 star in your show
Well I抦 still a star and I can still go
You know I got to be, I got to be the star of the show
