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
