Lyrics
[Intro – gritty guitar riff, tight drum shuffle]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Verse 1 – groovy bassline, playful horn stabs]
I was your second hand boogie man, that's all I ask of you
That's right, that's right, who's right, who's wrong, I'm the one that's true
Don't love the wrong one, baby, 'cause my love's been steady and real
I've been right here waiting, through every high and every low you feel
[Pre-Chorus – building organ swell, rising vocal harmonies]
You know the flame between us never faded out
Even when the world tried to turn our love about
[Chorus – full band blast, catchy horn hook, soulful belting]
Oh girl, don't break out my windows, my heart's still with you
I ain't going nowhere, I'm stuck on loving you
The flame is true, baby, it's burning bright and strong
I'm your second hand boogie man, where you belong
[Verse 2 – syncopated guitar strums, tambourine shake]
I've danced through your dark days, I've laughed through your best
I've held you when you cried, I've loved you through the rest
You can try to push me away, but I won't let go
My love's a steady rhythm, it's the only thing I know
[Pre-Chorus 2 – thicker organ, layered backing vocals]
You know the spark between us never lost its glow
Even when you tried to let the cold winds blow
[Chorus 2 – amplified horn section, more intense vocals]
Oh girl, don't break out my windows, my heart's still with you
I ain't going nowhere, I'm stuck on loving you
The flame is true, baby, it's burning bright and strong
I'm your second hand boogie man, where you belong
[Bridge – stripped-back guitar and vocals, intimate mood]
I know I ain't the flashiest, ain't got the shiniest things
But I've got a love that's honest, that's worth more than any ring
Don't let the noise outside mess with what we've got
I'm the one who's loved you, through every single spot
[Solo – blistering guitar solo, wah-wah effect, driving drums]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Chorus 3 – full band climax, call-and-response vocals]
Oh girl, don't break out my windows, my heart's still with you
I ain't going nowhere, I'm stuck on loving you
The flame is true, baby, it's burning bright and strong
I'm your second hand boogie man, where you belong
[Outro – fading guitar riff, soft horn fade-out]
I'm your second hand boogie man, that's all I ask of you
The flame is true, baby, my heart's still with you
