There's No Such Thing

There’s no such thing as the next best thing to love.
No substitute or facsimily 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 as the
next
best thing to love.
