Won’t you be my number two
Me and number one are through
There won’t be too much to do
Just smile when I feel blue
And theres not much left of me
What you get is what you see
Is it worth the energy
I leave it up to you
And if you got something to say to me
Don’t try to play your funny games on me
I know that its really not fair of me
But my hearts seen too much action
And every time I look at you
You’ll be who I want you to
And Ill do what I can do
To make a dream or two come true
If you’ll be my
If you be my number two
I think this video misses the point of the song. It's not a song about some interloper breaking up a couple or becoming his "number two" on the side or something. It's a song about a man who feels broken after a relationship that he thought was going to be "it" for him, but fell apart. He's trying to move on now with someone else, but is cynical/skeptical about the prospects, and is warning his new beau what the score is.
