The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I used to lie in my bed

Sleep wouldn't come

Thinkin' 'bout things that they said

They led me on

All of the fancy ladies

Oh, they could talk and talk

I shot for the highest star

But I aimed too high

You wanted a rich rock star

But he made you cry

Now that we have each other

We can laugh about it

You're not the one I was lookin' for but

You're the one for me (you're the one)

I'm not the one you were lookin' for but

You can't go wrong with me

You're not the one I was lookin' for but

You're, oh, so good for me

Now I can't make it without

I can't go on

We can make beautiful music

And prove them wrong

We've been put down by the best

And now we laugh about it, ya

You're not the one I was lookin' for but

You're the one for me (you're the one)

I'm not the one you were lookin' for but

You can't go wrong with me

You're not the one I was lookin' for but

You're, oh, so good for me

You're, oh, so good for me (you're so good)

You're, oh, so good for me (you're so good)

You're, oh, so good for me (you're so good)
