You always hear of the first place winners The people who got what they want But no one ever talks about third place No one ever congratulates third place They follow the winners around, Desperately trying to catch up, chasing But they will always be the number three Third to be noticed, third wheel There is only one time and place They manage to come in second And that is, second best

Third Place, Second Best
You always hear of the first place winners The people who got what they want But no one ever talks about third place No one ever congratulates third place They follow the winners around, Desperately trying to catch up, chasing But they will always be the number three Third to be noticed, third wheel There is only one time and place They manage to come in second And that is, second best
Well this is a little depressing. Third wheel, second best
