I Ain't Gonna Play No Second Fiddle - Bessie Smith
Let me tell you daddy
Momma ain't gonna sit here and grieve
Pack up your stuff and get ready to leave
I stood your foolishness long enough
So now I'm gonna call your bluff
Oh I'm singing I'm gonna call your hand
So now daddy here's my plan
Ain't gonna play no second fiddle cause
I'm used to playing lead
You must think that I am blind
You've been cheating me all the time
Whoa yeah you still flirt
And you'll notice I ain't hurt
To see you with my chum
Do you think that I am dumb
You cause me to drink
When I sit down and think
And notice that you never take heed
I went to your house the other night
Caught you and your good girl having a fight
Ain't gonna play no second fiddle cause
I'm used to playing lead
I caught you with your good-time tramp
So now papa I'm gonna put out your lamp
Oh poppa I ain't sore
You ain't gonna mess up with me no more
I'm gonna flirt with another guy
Then you're gonna hang your head and we
Ain't gonna play no second fiddle cause
I'm used to playing lead
