There's No Such Thing

There's no such thing as the next best thing to love

No substitute or facsimile there of

Just try and do without it

Go see how far you get

Why don't we face it?

What can replace it?

Nothing they've thought of yet

There's no such thing as the next best thing to love

Necessity gave a cold, cold hand a glove

Likewise, someone to cling to, when there's a moon above

There's no such thing as the next best thing to love

There is no such thing with the very same appeal

And nothing like when you fall in love for real

Whether it be the real thing, this much I'm certain of

There is no such thing, there is no such thing

There is no such thing

There's no such thing as the next best thing to love
