The Next Best Thing to You

I thought I saw your face I'm sure I heard your name So I went by your place To see if it had changed They said you moved away About four years ago I asked them where you went They said they didn't know No matter what I do I just can't seem to find The next best thing to you Got into my car Drove down to the sea No one on the beach Just the sand and me I wonder how it feels To be the object of What they used to call Unrequited love Pathetic, but it's true I just can't seem to find The next best thing to you And the next best thing to you is proving somewhat elusive I just keep hoping that she's out there somewhere The next best thing to you Would only go to prove That there really is such a thing As the next best thing to you I'm gonna put my money on the next best thing to you They might say it's funny but They don't know what I'm going through And no one's gonna love you quite the way I used to do And the next best thing to you Would be somebody who Would take me as I am And not expect that I Would be somebody else Even when I fail To give 'em what they want Even though I try Somebody who will see There's no need to find The next best thing to me The next best thing to you is proving somewhat elusive I just keep hoping that she's out there somewhere The next best thing to you Would only go to prove That there really is such a thing As the next best thing to you The next best thing to you is proving somewhat elusive I just keep hoping that she's out there somewhere The next best thing to you Would only go to prove That there really is such a thing As the next best thing to you
