[Chorus]
I ain't gonna play no second fiddle
If I can’t play the lead
I called on you the other night
When I rang the bell, you turned out the light
I was blind, now I see
That you can’t put that over me
I ain't gonna play no second fiddle
If I can’t play the lead, do you hear me?
Papa’s gotta play the lead

[Chorus]
I ain't gonna play no second fiddle
If I can’t play the lead
I called on you the other night
When I rang the bell, you turned out the light
I was blind, now I see
You can’t put that over me
I ain't gonna play no second fiddle
If I can’t play the lead, do you catch me?
Papa’s gotta carry that lead
