No Second Prize Lyrics

Oh yeah

I heard about a person
Who had a broken heart
With nothing to drive him on
No hope no spark no flame

He couldn't see at all tears
They were blinding him
He kept it all inside
The guilt and all the pain

You know I say I tried to warn him
They had him backed up against the wall
I hope I'm not too late

No one can tell you exactly what you have gotta be
You've got to stand your ground and fight to save your life
It may be hard but, ooh, it's the only way
Always remembering there ain't no second prize
There ain't no second prize

You know I say I tried to warn him
They had him backed up against the wall
Why can't I stand up and try to tell him
They've got me backed up against the wall
I hope I'm not too late
No one can tell you exactly what you have gotta be
You've got to stand your ground and fight to save your life
It may be hard but, ooh, it's the only way
Always remembering there ain't no second prize
There ain't no second prize

(Oh no, there ain't no second prize)
There ain't no second prize
(Oh no, there ain't no second prize)
There's not gonna be no second prize

(Oh no, there ain't no second prize)
Oh there's no second prize
(Oh no, there ain't no second prize)
Never never never never gonna be

(Oh no, there ain't no second prize)
(Oh no, there ain't no second prize)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
