Well, it's true enough I guess Join the chorus of the second best (second best) Second best (second best) Second best (second best) Second best (second) What's left of you that's real?

Yes, it's true enough I guess (second best) Second best (second best) Second best (second best) Second best (second best) Second best (second) Perhaps it's just as well That I still look like hell At least the world can tell us apart Uh-huh, is it true? Yes, it's true enough I guess Come join the chorus of the unimpressed Is it true? (Is it true?) Yes, it's true enough I guess Sometimes it's better to be second best (second best) Second best (second best) Second best (second best) Second best (second best) Second best (second best) Second best (second best) Second best (second best) Second best (second best) Second best, uh-uh --- Second Best - Barenaked Ladies
