I'm being hopelessly optimistic—you're an honest crook   The poor reputation your love gets should make you look   It gets pretty ugly   I'm clearly misunderstood   I'm second best and that's pretty good       I need extra time to see   If those plastic glasses are half full or half empty   It's a sure bet my life's an organized mess   But I'm second best and that's pretty good       I have drawn a   I've drawn a   I've drawn a blank   All those years I was getting old   I can't remember though I must have been told   I was your only one a million times   If you told me once it was a lie       It's after dark    Must be light again   'Twas a near miss    Must have hit 'em   He took everything all that glittered   He said “now then, we mustn't be bitter”       It's a little big, but I guess my dream's okay   I can make it if I start today   We're alone together in this relation   Don't feel real, must be a genuine imitation       I have drawn a   I've drawn a   I've drawn a blank   All those years I was getting old   I can't remember though I must have been told   I was your only one a million times   If you told me once it was a lie       Fuzzy logic, you say, but who really cares   It's an exact estimation everywhere   I didn't realize but it's no good to be mad   I'm second best and that's pretty bad
