I Ain't Gonna Play No Second Fiddle Songtext
Let me tell you daddy,
Momma ain't gonna sit and grieve
Pack up your stuff and get ready to leave

I stood your foolishness long enough,
So now I'm gonna call your bluff
On certain things I'm gonna call your hand,
so, now daddy here's my plan

Ain't gonna play no second fiddle 'cause,
I'm used to playin' lead

You must think that I am blind,
You've been cheatin' me all the time
Whoa yeah, you still flirt
And you'll notice I ain't hurt,
To see you with my chum
Do you think that I am dumb?

You cause me to drink,
When I sit down and think
And see that you never take heed
I called to your house the other night,
Caught you and your good girl havin' a fight

I ain't gonna play no second fiddle 'cause
I'm used to playin lead

I caught you with your good-time vamp,
So, now poppa I'm gonna put out your lamp
Oh, poppa, I ain't sore
You ain't gonna mess up with me no more
I'm gonna flirt with another shiek,
then you're gonna hang your head an' weep

Ain't gonna play no second fiddle 'cause
I'm used to playin' lead
