[Refrain]

Don't put my love on your back burner

Never let anything that hot get cold

And if you ever change your mind

Want to leave my love behind

Just let me be the second one to know

Yeah, the second one to know

[Verse 1]

Hold up my right hand

Swear to the Promised Land

Rather die before I treat you bad

All I ask from you

Is to treat me the same way, too

'Cause I don't want to lose this thing we have

[Refrain]

Don't put my love on your back burner

Never let anything that hot get cold

And if you ever change your mind

Want to leave my love behind

Just let me be the second one to know

Yeah, the second one to know

[Verse 2]

First, you stole my heart

That was the easy part

Don't ever tell me that crime don't pay

Now that it's in your hands

Want you to understand

I would have given it to you anyway

[Refrain / Outro]

Don't put my love on your back burner

Never let anything that hot get cold

And if you ever change your mind

Wanna leave my love behind

Just let me be the second one to know

Yeah, the second one to know
