0:31We sang a love song the day that we met
0:34You thought that we made the perfect duet
0:38You liked my performance so you wanted to know
0:42If I would stay on as the star of the show
0:49And beautiful music we made
0:51For a time 'til she changed our tune
0:54And you added new lines
0:57Our duet arrangement became a trio
1:00Now you want a star
1:02But I just think you should know
1:04I don't play second fiddle in nobody's band
1:07And I'm no back-up singer and I won't be a fan
1:11And I'm nobody's co-star
1:13I just play leading rolls
1:16And I don't want the part don't want a part
1:20Won't play a part unless it's star of the show
1:24Star of the show
1:31Star of the show
1:38Star of the show
1:40Oh she's stealing the show
1:41That's been so dear to my heart
1:43She's changing our song 'til
1:45I'm not sure of my part
1:47She sharing the spotlight and
1:49There's not room for both
1:51Now one or the other is the star of the show
1:54The other goes
1:59Life is a show and the show will go on
2:02The world is stage
2:03Loves an act we perform
2:06There's always some new act
2:07Somewhere up the road
2:09And I'll always be staring in somebodies' show
2:13I don't play second fiddle in nobody's band
2:16And I'm no back-up singer and I won't be a fan
2:20And I'm nobody's co-star
2:22I just play leading rolls
2:24And I don't want the part don't want a part
2:28Won't play a part unless it's star of the show
2:37I don't play second fiddle in nobody's band
2:41And I'm no back-up singer and I won't be a fan
2:45And I'm nobody's co-star
2:46I just play leading rolls
2:48And I don't want the part don't want a part
2:53Won't play a part unless it's star of the show
3:06If I don't star in your show
3:09Well I'm still a star and I can still go
3:16You know I got to be
3:18I got to be the star of the show
3:26Star of the show
3:33Star of the show
3:41Star of the show
3:48Star of the show
