Lyrics Warren Zevon

Warren Zevon

Looking for the Next Best Thing

I worked hard, but not for the money

I did my best to please

I used to think it was funny

'Til I realized it was all 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

So 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

Well 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, I'm settling for less

I'm looking for the next best thing

Well looking for the next best thing

Looking for the next best thing

Yes I'm looking

And I'm looking for the next best thing

I'm looking for the next best thing
