Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section - Beautiful Loser lyrics

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
