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
