Why You Wanna Settle For Less

(альбом: Imagination - 2004)

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

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, baby

Why you wanna settle for less?
Don't you know that you deserve the best?
Why you wanna settle for less?
When you could have it all for yourself?
(For yourself, baby)

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, blues
Why, why, why

Why you wanna settle for less? (Tell me, baby, tell me, baby)
Don't you know that you deserve the best? (I know you do, I know you do)
Why you wanna settle for less? (When you don't have to, you don't have to)
When you could have it all for yourself? (When you could have it all, baby)

Why you wanna settle for less? (Oh baby, why why why why why)
Don't you know that you deserve the best?
Why you wanna settle for less?
When you could have it all for yourself?

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 (Yes I am)
Through the ups and the downs (Ups and the downs)
The thick and the thin (Thick and the thin)
When you need somebody, not just anybody
I hate to see you missing out

Why you wanna settle for less?
Why, baby, why?
Less
I'm the one who still needs you baby
I'll do all I can for you
Why?
All, all of me...

Why you wanna settle for less?
Don't you know that you deserve the best?
Why you wanna settle for less?
When you could 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, oh baby
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
Satisfy your everything
And I don't wanna criticize
But I wanna let you know
If you just look in my eyes
Tell me I'm the one, baby
Wipe those tears from your eyes
Wish you could see
That you deserve me
