Why You Wanna Settle for Less |
| You know, baby |
| I really don’t wanna question your choices |
| I don’t wanna tell you what to do, or how to do |
| But you know, you gotta know he’s not good enough for you |
| I mean, when you go out, he’s acting crazy, acting a fool |
| And you’re all ashamed |
| You deserve so much more |
| And I’m the one that wants to give you that |
| Who am I to criticize? |
| But I don’t like the way he does you, no |
| I guess the tears are clouding up your eyes |
| 'Cause you can see he don’t deserve you |
| Girl, if I was your man |
| I’d really love you, love you, aww yeah |
| And there’s nothing in the world |
| That I won’t do, do, do for you |
| 'Cause you’re a woman, baby |
| Why you wanna settle for less? |
| Don’t you know that you deserve the best? |
| Why you wanna settle for less? |
| When you could have it all for yourself? |
| (For yourself, baby) |
| You should have felt a long time ago |
| That you and I have something special |
| So everything that he put you through |
| Wanna know what I can do |
| 'Cause it’s affecting me too |
| I have seen you in pain |
| And it’s a damn shame |
| That your man don’t love and appreciate you like I do |
| If I was your man |
| I’d really love you, love you, love you |
| And you need to think about it, girl |
| You need to choose, choose, choose |
| 'Cause he’s just giving you the blues |
| The blues, the blues, blues |
| Why, why, why |
| Why you wanna settle for less? |
| (Tell me, baby, tell me, baby) |
| Don’t you know that you deserve the best? |
| (I know you do, I know you do) |
| Why you wanna settle for less? |
| (When you don’t have to, you don’t have to) |
| When you could have it all for yourself? |
| (When you could have it all, baby) |
| Why you wanna settle for less? |
| (Oh baby, why why why why why) |
| Don’t you know that you deserve the best? |
| Why you wanna settle for less? |
| When you could have it all for yourself? |
| I don’t wanna make you more confused, no no, baby |
| This is your life and it’s up to you to choose |
| So here’s what I’m gonna do |
| I’m always gonna be there supporting you (Yes I am) |
| Through the ups and the downs (Ups and the downs) |
| The thick and the thin (Thick and the thin) |
| When you need somebody, not just anybody |
| I hate to see you missing out |
| Why you wanna settle for less? |
| Why, baby, why? |
| Less |
| I’m the one who still needs you baby |
| I’ll do all I can for you |
| Why? |
| All, all of me… |
| Why you wanna settle for less? |
| Don’t you know that you deserve the best? |
| Why you wanna settle for less? |
| When you could have it all for yourself? |
| All for yourself |
| Here we are |
| And I don’t wanna confuse you |
| I want you to know |
| That Eddie loves you so, oh baby |
| I’m a man |
| The man that’s doing all he can |
| I make everything right for you |
| I’ll be good to you, good to you |
| Satisfy your everything |
| And I don’t wanna criticize |
| But I wanna let you know |
| If you just look in my eyes |
| Tell me I’m the one, baby |
| Wipe those tears from your eyes |
| Wish you could see |
| That you deserve me |
