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?
