• Backlash, on the second string,
    Second chair, and everywhere in between.
    I don't dare...pick up the phone
    'Cause I'm always...alone.

    Forget that! I'm lying to myself!
    Not second, third or fourth! I'm always on a shelf.
    Forget that! Not even those,
    Everybody knows!
    Let's go ahead and say it
    I'm last.

    Say you wanna go
    And see a show.
    Well I'd love to go!
    But oh no, no!
    No one wants me there
    'Cause no one really cares.
    I'm always there.

    I'm just someone
    Someone to fall back upon
    When plans go wrong.
    I'm that faithful butler
    That hits the dinner gong!

    Forget that! I'm lying to myself!
    Not second, third or fourth! I'm always on a shelf.
    Forget that! Not even those,
    Everybody knows!
    Let's go ahead and say it
    I'm last.

    They forgot me.
    Nobody cares.
    'Cause I'm always there.
    But one day when I'm not there,
    You'll find that you do care!
    When I'm not there.

    Forget you! I don't care!
    I won't be there the end,
    blending in!
    'Cause I can get better friends.

    Go ahead and forget me!
    'Cause I'm not part of the scenery!
    And one day when I'm not there,
    You'll find that you don't care,
    And I won't be there!
