It's not fair
Its not fair
I didn't know
I wasn't there
Its not fair
Its not fair

Seeing you lying there
I wasn't strong enough
to save you from the evil stuff
I wasn't smart like you
To do what you would do

I know I'm not a leading woman
I know I'm not a star
but I know what makes me special
is what I feel in my heart....
I'm just a sidekick
but I love being at your side
I've been in the shadows for far too long-

But I'm the leading woman of this song
I was a stupid doofus but now that's gone
I'm ready for a change, gonna keep calm and carry on!
I know I'm not a pretty girl, but I'm a woman
I'll find a way to save ya baby, yes I can
don't confuse the way i was with the way I am
I'm ready for a change, gonna take a stand

I'm just a sidekick
I'm just a sidekick
I'm just a sidekick
but I love being at your side

I'm always forgotten
always come in second place
I'll never be a front woman
no one can remember my face
If I was in a diner
I would surely be the less prominent taste
but when I think of how I feel for you
and the love I have inside
I forget about all the things I am not
and my heart swells up with pride

Am I the strongest (no I'm not)
Am I the smartest (no I'm not)
Am I the hottest (no I'm not)

But am I the greatest (no I'm not)
Am I the hero (no I'm not)
Am I the one who steals the show (no I'm not)
Am I the one who you should know (no I'm not)

But am I the one who takes you home (definitely not)
Am I the chosen one (no I'm not)
Am I the prodigal son (no I'm not)
Am I almost done (no I'm not)

But I'm the one who's gonna love you with-- all of her heart because... that's what I got!
I'm the one who's gonna love you with-- all of her heart because... that's what I've got!
I'm not a great athlete, I'm no good at art
I know my brain is not my most impressive part
My wand can barely work and my car won't start
but I know what makes me special's what i feel in my heart

I'm just a sidekick
I'm just a sidekick
I'm just a sidekick
but I love, I love, I love being at your side
