| 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 |
