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
Chorus:
(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 to 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
Chorus
Looking for the next best thing
I'm looking for the next best thing
