He wants to dream like a young man
With the wisdom of an old man
He wants his home and security
He wants to live like a sailor at sea
Beautiful loser
Where you gonna fall?
When you realize
You just can`t have it all
He`s your oldest and your best friend
If you need him, he`ll be there again
He`s always willing to be second-best
A perfect lodger, a perfect guest
Beautiful loser
Read it on the wall
And realize
You just can`t have it all
You just can`t have it all
you just can`t have it all
ohh, ohh, can`t have it all
you can try, you can try, but you can`t have it all
oh yeah
He`ll never make any enemies, enemies, no
He won`t complain if he`s caught in a freeze
He`ll always ask, he`ll always say please
Beautiful loser
Never take it all
`Cause it`s easier
And faster when you fall
You just don`t need it all
You just don`t need it all
You just don`t need it all
Just don`t need it all
