Lyrics No Second Prize - Jimmy Barnes

No Second Prize

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, 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, 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 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
Never never never never gonna be
Oh, no, there ain’t no second prize
