How Could I Settle for Less |
| Mine was a simple story |
| Never a thought of glory |
| I did what I did and what I had |
| I was glad to posses |
| But you changed my whole direction |
| And now that I’ve seen perfection |
| How could I settle for less? |
| I was the shyest lover |
| Ready to run for cover |
| But look at me now |
| I’m not the same, I aim to impress |
| You gave me a glance at heaven |
| And given a change at heaven |
| How could I settle for less? |
| Could Caesar span Cleopatra’s door? |
| Columbus turn once he saw the shore? |
| I, I don’t want fame or treasure |
| Miracles made to measure |
| The beautiful things that people |
| Rate the greatest success |
| I only want you forever |
| And you and I close together |
| How could I settle for? |
| How, how could I settle? |
| How could I settle for less? |
| Tell me, tell me, tell me |
| Tell me daddy, how could I settle for less? |
| I wanna know, I want to know |
| How could I settle for? |
