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
