"Beautiful Loser (Live)" lyrics
Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band 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 don't need it all?
Oh, 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 don't need it all
Hey, you just don't need it all
You don't need it all
Oh, don't need it all
Hey, you can try
But you can't have it all, oh, Lord, no
Oh
He'll never make any enemies, enemies
Baby, he won't complain if he's caught on his knees, no
He'll always ask, he'll always say please
Ooh
Beautiful loser
Never take it all
'Cause it's easier
And faster when you fall
Ah, you just don't need it all
Oh, you just don't need it all
You just don't need it all
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 don't need it all?
Oh, 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 don't need it all
Hey, you just don't need it all
You don't need it all
Oh, don't need it all
Hey, you can try
But you can't have it all, oh, Lord, no
Oh
He'll never make any enemies, enemies
Baby, he won't complain if he's caught on his knees, no
He'll always ask, he'll always say please
Ooh
Beautiful loser
Never take it all
'Cause it's easier
And faster when you fall
Ah, you just don't need it all
Oh, you just don't need it all
You just don't need it all
