How Could I Settle for Less
Mine was a simple storyNever a thought of gloryI did what I did and what I hadI was glad to possesBut you changed my whole directionAnd now that I've seen perfectionHow could I settle for less?I was the shyest loverReady to run for coverBut look at me nowI'm not the same, I aim to impressYou gave me a glance at heavenAnd given a change at heavenHow 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 treasureMiracles made to measureThe beautiful things that peopleRate the greatest successSongtexteI only want you foreverAnd you and I close togetherHow could I settle for?How, how could I settle?How could I settle for less?Tell me, tell me, tell meTell me daddy, how could I settle for less?I wanna know, I want to knowHow could I settle for?
