Settle for My Love - Patrice Rushen

Late last night or was it morning Outside the rain was pouring I stumbled out I hit the ground It's a hell of a scene but there's no story Designed in all it's glory To set you up and knock you down Just a reflection on my bitterness Why plant the seed and not do the rest? Just a distraction from the meaningless I'd rather bleed than settle for less Was told at the time to just keep going You'll fly but don't stop rowing Reached for the moon and hit the ground Is this a chip upon my shoulder? As heavy as a boulder? When all the world owes you a crown Just a reflection on my emptiness You don't succeed by chasing success No reputation is worth all this mess I'd rather bleed than settle for less Just a reflection on my happiness Only compete with yourself at your best A separation from the self I possess Just let it be and settle for less

One, two, three, four One, two, three, four One, two, three, four Well I watch you tangle every weekend It might start different but it ends up the same One minute you're casually speaking The next it all goes up and you pour fuel on the flame With your Jerry can of words and tones And no one's gonna start a revolution So we best leave it well alone And there's something that Frankie used to say, apparently Oh he says settle for a draw Well you're not gonna get no more So you should settle for a draw I told you once I'm sure I told you once I'm sure You should settle for a draw Why don't you settle for a draw? Well you're right it is one set of rules for her And then another set for you But that's just the way it is I suppose And there's nothing you can do And lets not fall in the trap Of answering back I am just a beginner But she'll be the only winner That's for sure So take the draw, if it's available And if it sets on fire don't get out your jerry can of Words and tones And no one's gonna start a revolution So we best leave it well alone And there's something that Frankie used to say, apparently Oh he says settle for a draw Well you're not gonna get no more So you should settle for a draw I told you once I'm sure I told you once I'm sure You should settle for a draw Why don't you settle for a draw?
