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



(Chorus)

Beautiful loser

Where you gonna fall?

And realize you just don't need 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

The perfect lodger the perfect guest



(Chorus)

Beautiful loser

Read it on the wall

And realize

You just don't need it all (you just don't need 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...



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



(Chorus)

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)



Bob Seger,(and the silver bullet band),...1975
