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
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 [bad word] 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
