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?
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? Explain Request ×
