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
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 can't have it all
You can't have it all
Oh, oh, ... can't have it all
He'll never make any enemies
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
Faster when you fall
You just don't need it all
Oh, oh, ...
You just don't need it all.
