Lover, I have discovered that another love lives in your heart.
Lover, I have uncovered that it's her memory that keeps us apart.
Chorus: I won't play Second To Her Memory
That lives so strongly in your mind.
I won't give you my own sweet love
Until your memory of her unwinds.

Lover, I have discovered that this other love gives you your thrill.
Lover, I have uncovered that without her you're not fulfilled.

Chorus:

Bridge: For what it's worth, I want to be first
And the true love of your life.
But, if that cannot be
Then, I want you to see
I won't compete with her memory.

Chorus: I won't play Second To Her Memory
That lives so strongly in your mind.
I won't give you my own sweet love

Until your memory of her, until that memory of her
Until your memory of her unwinds!
