Lyrics
She's settling in
She's settling down
Settling for less with the one she's found
Not turning away
She'll be turning grey
Learning to stay with the one she's found
But she's down, so down, so down...
She don't wanna be alone
She wants to leave but she won't go
She can't make it on her own
It's not a world she wants to know
So she's settling, she's settling
When she could do so much better than him
She's settling, she's settling
When she could do so much better
She's out with me
He's home asleep
But still his love she wants to keep
And I'm trying to stay
I'm trying to wait
But she just won't take that leap of faith
And I'm down, so down, so down...
Cause I don't wanna be alone
I wanna leave but I won't go
Cause I can't make it on my own
It's not a world I wanna know
And while she's settling, She's settling
She knows I'd be much better than him
While she's settling, while she's settling, she knows I'd be much better
Yeah, I'm not settling
I'm not settling
I'm not settling, I'm not settling
Ohhh, I'm not settling
Ohhh, I'm not settling
Ohhh, I'm not settling
Yeah
