[Verse 1]
Well, if you're ever in a tight spot
And all the things around you are gettin' hot
Come to me, and I can cool you off
If you ever get yourself in a jam
And if you ever feel you need to find a man
Call my number and, darling, you found one
[Pre-Chorus]
But I know now, it can never work out
The way I really wished that it would
But a second-hand love is better than no love at all
[Chorus]
(And the walls) get a little closer in
(And my throat) gets a little tighter when
I say to you that a second-hand love from you is better than no love at all
Any kind of love from you is better than no love at all
[Verse 2]
If you got the feeling it ain't right tonight
And if the fire at home ain't as hot as you like
I've got a fire that's burning for you
And if you ever feel you need to get away
To get away from the rest of your life
I'll come a-runnin' and show you the world
[Pre-Chorus]
But I know now, it can never work out
The way I really wished that it would
But a second-hand love is better than no love at all
[Bridge]
Any kind of love from you is better than no love at all
Any kind of love from you is better than no love at all
[Chorus]
(And the walls) get a little closer in
(And my throat) gets a little tighter when
I say to you that a second-hand love from you is better than no love at all
Any kind of love from you is better than no love at all
[Outro]
Any kind of love from you
Any kind of love from you
Any kind of love from you is better than no love at all
Well, if you're ever in a tight spot
And all the things around you are gettin' hot
Come to me, and I can cool you off
If you ever get yourself in a jam
And if you ever feel you need to find a man
Call my number and, darling, you found one
[Pre-Chorus]
But I know now, it can never work out
The way I really wished that it would
But a second-hand love is better than no love at all
[Chorus]
(And the walls) get a little closer in
(And my throat) gets a little tighter when
I say to you that a second-hand love from you is better than no love at all
Any kind of love from you is better than no love at all
[Verse 2]
If you got the feeling it ain't right tonight
And if the fire at home ain't as hot as you like
I've got a fire that's burning for you
And if you ever feel you need to get away
To get away from the rest of your life
I'll come a-runnin' and show you the world
[Pre-Chorus]
But I know now, it can never work out
The way I really wished that it would
But a second-hand love is better than no love at all
[Bridge]
Any kind of love from you is better than no love at all
Any kind of love from you is better than no love at all
[Chorus]
(And the walls) get a little closer in
(And my throat) gets a little tighter when
I say to you that a second-hand love from you is better than no love at all
Any kind of love from you is better than no love at all
[Outro]
Any kind of love from you
Any kind of love from you
Any kind of love from you is better than no love at all
