Lyrics
Settle For You
Verse: Oh I could use a million dollars
Or a mansion with a pool.
I would gladly drive a Jaguar
Just to show the world I?m cool.
I could go for sparkling diamonds
Golden bracelets on my wrist
Precious emeralds set in silver
Rubies, too, if you insist.
There are lots of things that I don?t have
So many things I lack
But I?d forgo every one of them
If I could have you back.
Chorus: I would settle for you
More than anything you?d name
I would settle for you
More than beauty, wealth, or fame
I would settle for you
To make my life complete
I would settle for you
There?s nothin? else so sweet.
Verse: I could take a jet to Paris
Take a cruise to Singapore
I could see the whole wide world first-class
And then go back for more.
I could sip the finest sherry
Flown direct to me from Spain.
I could dine on fancy caviar
Top it off with fine champagne.
There are lots of things that I could want
And lots of things I lack
But if I could have one wish come true
It?s just to have you back.
Chorus: I would settle for you
More than anything you?d name
I would settle for you
More than beauty, wealth, or fame
I would settle for you
To make my life complete
I would settle for you
There?s nothin? else so sweet.
I would settle for you
No doubt I really would
I would settle for you
If now, I only could.
