[Verse 1]
Let me tell you, Daddy
Momma ain't gonna stand here and grieve
Pack up your duds and get ready to leave
I stood your foolishness long enough
So now, Poppa, I'm gonna call your bluff
On certain things I'm gonna call your hand
So now, Daddy here's my plan
[Refrain]
I ain't gonna play no second fiddle
I'm used to playin' lead
[Bridge]
You must think that I am blind
You've been cheatin' me all the time
But if you still flirt
And you know just how it hurts
To see you with my chum
Do you think that I am dumb?
[Verse 2]
You cause me to drink
When I sit down and think
And I never seem to take heed
I called to your house the other night
Caught you and your good girl havin' a fight
[Refrain]
I ain't gonna play no second fiddle
I'm used to playin' lead
[Trumpet Solo]
[Verse 3]
I caught you with your good-time vamp
So now, Poppa, I'm gonna put out your lamp
Now, Poppa, I ain't sore
You ain't goin' to mess with me no more
I'm goin' to flirt with another sheik
Then you're goin' to hang your head and weep
[Refrain]
I ain't gonna play no second fiddle
'Cause I'm used to playin' lead
