Lyrics:

(Kenny Edwards, LeRoy P. Marinell, and Warren Zevon)I worked hard, but not for the moneyDid my best to pleaseI used to think it was funny'Til I realized it was just a teaseDon Quixote had his windmillsPonce de Leon took his cruiseTook Sinbad seven voyagesTo see that it was all a ruse(That's why I'm) Looking for the next best thingLooking for the next best thingI appreciate the bestBut I'm settling for less'Cause I'm looking for the next best thingLooking for the next best thingAll alone on the road to perfectionAt the inspection booth they tried to discourage meYou can believe what you want--that'll never change itYou'll have to come around eventually(And you'll be) Looking for the next best thingLooking for the next best thingI appreciate the bestBut I'm settling for less'Cause I'm looking for the next best thingLooking for the next best thingI'm looking for the next best thing
