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

[Verse 1:]
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

[Chorus:]
Why you wanna settle for less?
You know that you deserve the best
Why you wanna settle for less?
When you could have it all for yourself?

[Verse 2:]
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
Why, why, why

[Chorus]
Tell me
I know you do, I know you do
When you don’t have to
You can have it all, baby

Oh think about why, why, why, why

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
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
Through the ups and the downs (ups and the downs)
Thick and the thin (thick and the thin)
When you need somebody, not just anybody
I hate to see you missing out

Why, baby, why?
I’m the one who still needs you baby
I’ll do all I can for you
Why?
All of me

[Chorus]

Baby, baby, tell me

Why you wanna settle for less?
When you can 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
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

And I don’t wanna criticize
But I wanna let you know
If you just look in my eyes
I’m tellin’ you
That I’m the one, baby

Wish you could see
That you deserve me
