Warren Zevon - Looking For The Next Best Thing lyrics

I worked hard, but not for the money Did my best to please I used to think it was funny 'Til I realized it was just a tease Don Quixote had his windmills Ponce de Leon took his cruise Took Sinbad seven voyages To see that it was all a ruse (That's why I'm) Looking for the next best thing Looking for the next best thing I appreciate the best But I'm settling for less 'Cause I'm looking for the next best thing Looking for the next best thing All alone on the road to perfection At the inspection booth they tried to discourage me You can believe what you want--that'll never change it You'll have to come around eventually (And you'll be) Looking for the next best thing Looking for the next best thing I appreciate the best But I'm settling for less 'Cause I'm looking for the next best thing Looking for the next best thing I'm looking for the next best thing
