Lyrics:

1982
Writer(s): David Bellamy

Well I wonder what you think about
After all these wasted years
I can see your love for him in your eyes
And I can taste it in your tears

Well I can feel the way you long for him
The way I long for you
And it breaks my pride just to know that I
Am only Number Two
Number Two
Number Two

I got music in my aching soul
I got pills to stop the pain
But I wish that I could walk away
Like a hero in the rain

Lord you'd be distressed in your rain-soaked dress
To think that I'd leave you
Cause for half your life you know you've been my wife
And I've been Number Two
Number Two
Number Two

There are love songs here, love songs there
Now we've all been in love
But I wonder why so many cry
And say they've had enough

I'm a cast-off orphan, a dying flame
A stalker of the moon
Cause I know here inside if I stayed here and tried
I'd still be Number Two
Number Two
Number Two (oh and I'd still be, still be)
Number Two (oh and I'd still be, and I'd still be, and I'd still be)
Number Two (oh and I'd still be, and I'd still be, and I'd still be)
Number Two (oh)
