The Next Best Thing

I'm the next best thing
To being the real woman of your dreams
I'm just a Miss In-between
Till you get the opportunity to meet the woman of your dreams

It doesn't bother me a bit
In fact I'm so pleased you're ok with this
Because I'd hate to meet a man that would marry me
I don't want that kind of opportunity

I'm the next best thing
To being someone you're interested in
Surprised your patience isn't wearing thin
Till you're
Introduced to the mother of your kin

But it doesn't bother me a bit
In fact I'm so pleased you're ok with this
Because I'd hate to meet a man that would marry me
I don't want that kind of opportunity

Because you'll be with other girls before I'm dead
And I'm quite content to let that go ahead
'Cause when the time comes I won't look back much
In resentment
But until that day comes I'm quite content

And it's not like I won't take a stand
And it's not like I'm running out of good cards in my hand
But if I don't like what you give me
I won't ask for more
But I don't see the point in putting my fist through the door

You'll be with other girls before I'm dead
And I'm quite content to let that go ahead
'Cause when the time comes I won't look back much
In resentment
But until that day comes I'm quite content
But until that day comes I'm quite content
But until that day comes I'm quite content
