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
(Chorus)
Beautiful loser
Where you gonna fall?
And realize you just don't need 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
The perfect lodger the perfect guest
(Chorus)
Beautiful loser
Read it on the wall
And realize
You just don't need it all (you just don't need 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...
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
(Chorus)
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)
