Lyrics: Beautiful Loser

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 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
a perfect lodger, a perfect guest

beautiful loser, read it on the wall
and realize you just don't need it all
yeah you just don't need it all
(you don't need it all)

Hey, you can try, but you can't have it all
Oh no, no
He'll never make any enemies, enemies
He won't complain if he's caught on his knees
He'll always ask, he'll always say please

beautiful loser, never take it all
cuz it's easier and faster when you fall
oh, you just don't need it all
