they tell me that there's someone else you really truly love

and even when we kiss that she's the one you're thinking of

i guess it's true 'cause once or twice you called me by her name

i need you so but now i know that you don't feel the same

it's all over town, you've put me down

a second hand love, a second hand love



though late at night i sit alone and count the tears that fall

i'd rather have this kind of love than not see you at all

my friends all say i'm better off if we should drift apart

but every day i hope and pray i'll be first in your heart

it's all over town, you've put me down

i'm a second hand love, a second hand love

just a second hand love, a second hand love
