Next Best Thing to Love (A Class Act)

We had the smiles
 We had the tune
 We had a multitude of lovely afternoons
 And come to think of it
 It was the next best thing to love
 And though we fought
 There was no pain
 The sex was good but never great
 Need I explain?
 And come to think of it
 It was the next best thing to love
 Something always missing
 Christmas in L.A
 We could get to April
 Not to May
 And so at last
 We let it go
 Because it doesn't take two geniuses to know
 That when you think of it
 And it is well worth thinking of
 It was the next best thing to love
 Couldn't turn the corner
 Never made sublime
 Still, we should be so lucky all the time
 So no regrets
 Forget the tears
 I know a dozen girls who'd run with this for years
 And come to think of it
 I guess the next best thing to love
 Is also love
 Is also love
