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
And 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
Just can’t have
All
Just can’t have all
Can’t have it all
You can try, you can try
But you can’t have it all

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
Oh, oh
You just don't need it all
Just don’t need it all
Just don’t need it all
