It's not fair, it's not fair I didn't know, I wasn't there It's not fair, it's 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 man 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 man 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 boy, but I'm a man I'll find a way to save you 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 Oh yes, I'm just a sidekick Oh yeah, 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 man, no one can remember my face If I was in a dinner 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'm 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 that 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 his heart Because that's what I've got I'm the one who's gonna love you with all his heart Because that's what I've got
I'm not a great athlete, I'm no good at art And 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 Oh yes, I'm just a sidekick Oh yeah, I'm just a sidekick But I love, I love, I love Being at your side!
