Sam Tsui - Next Best Thing

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

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

Another next best thing

See I ve been getting used to all this elevator music

That you play me while I wait on hold

Guess you re on the other line,

And though 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

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

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

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
