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
just can't have it all
just can't have it all
just can't have it all
Ohh ohh can't have it all
You can try but you can't have it all
He'll never make any enemies 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
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
