Don't misunderstand me I was just a little kid Thinking that the street life was the only way to live Always holding out for another thrill We've come a long long way So tell me why can't we settle for love? Is it that hard at the end of the day? Tell me why can't we settle for love before it's too late? Whatever it is you think you're missing Time to let your heart go 'Cause when you've walked this kind of distance We can't fool each other anymore Maybe there is a light that won't go out We've come a long long way So tell me why can't we settle for love? Is it that hard at the end of the day? Tell me why can't we settle for love before it's too late? Before it's too late We've come a long long way So tell me why can't we settle for love? Is it that hard at the end of the day? Tell me why can't we settle for love before it's too late? Before it's too late Before it's too late
