BOB SEGER 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 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
