SECOND PLACE ROMEO

Early bird gets the worm
Dry crops yearn for that rainy storm
One step to late
The stronger, richer, better looking gets the date
Loser's didn't want you, high class just stare
Always wanting more
So when that decent looking brunette says hi
I'm looking at her blonde friend hoping to score
I ended up alone

Always staring at somebody's back
Bruised and battered
Your the runner up jack
So close yet so far, runner up

Handing over your number as you knock over a beer
Ran that race but had a slower pace 
No matter how hard you wish
Second just ain't never gonna be first place
Went for that promotion
Boss told you to slow your roll...
demoted 

Always staring at somebody's back
Bruised and battered
Your the runner up jack
So close yet so far, runner up

When life's end is knocking
Did your ambition exceed your worth?
Did you utilize all your innate talents given at birth?
Pushed it to far but never got anywhere
Never had anything extra to give, nothing to share 

Bruised and battered, outa luck, runner up
