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
