(Dolly Parton)

We sang a love song the day that we met 
You thought that we made the perfect duet 
You liked my performance so you wanted to know 
If I would stay on as the star of the show 
And beautiful music we made for a time 'til she changed our tune 
And you added new lines 
Our duet arrangement became a trio 
Now you want a star, but I just think you should know 

I don't play second fiddle in nobody's band 
And I'm no back-up singer and I won't be a fan 
And I'm nobody's co-star 
I just play leading rolls 
And I don't want the part, don't want a part 
Won't play a part unless it's star of the show 

Oh, she's stealing the show that's been so dear to my heart 
She's changing our song 'til I'm not sure of my part 
She sharing the spotlight and there's not room for both 
Now one or the other is the star of the show, the other goes 

Life is a show and the show will go on 
The world is stage, loves an act we perform 
There's always some new act somewhere up the road 
And I'll always be staring in somebodies' show 

I don't play second fiddle in nobody's band 
And I'm no back-up singer and I won't be a fan 
And I'm nobody's co-star 
I just play leading rolls 
And I don't want the part, don't want a part 
Won't play a part unless it's star of the show 

I don't play second fiddle in nobody's band 
And I'm no back-up singer and I won't be a fan 
And I'm nobody's co-star 
I just play leading rolls 
And I don't want the part, don't want a part 
Won't play a part unless it's star of the show 

If I don't star in your show 
Well I'm still a star and I can still go 
You know I got to be, I got to be the star of the show
