"Second Best Thing" lyrics

Saved three months that they told me to
In and out of that store for a week or two
Never been handed down, yeah, it's brand new
Worth every penny I paid
Waited all day on the clock tic toc'n
Buried in the bottom of my blue jean pocket
But right here now with one knee droppin'
It's time to give it away
And girl, I just gotta say

It shines just like a Georgia July sun
And just like you, I knew it was the one
Yeah, it's flawless and it fits
About as perfect as it gets
But girl, I hope that you don't mind
It's the second best thing that I could find

Your folks are gonna stare and so will your friends
But you can bet it all I'll be locked in
On those blue eyes that did me in
'Cause that diamond don't come close
Girl, even though

It shines just like a Georgia July sun
And just like you, I knew it was the one
Yeah, it's flawless and it fits
About as perfect as it gets
But girl, I hope that you don't mind
It's the second best thing that I could find

'Cause I found you
And now nothin' else will do
No, not the world, not one thing
Not even this ring

That shines just like a Georgia July sun
Oh, and just like you, I knew it was the one
Yeah it's flawless and it fits
About as perfect as it gets
But girl, I hope that you don't mind
It's the second best thing that I could find

Oh, it's the second best thing that I could find
