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
 [bad word] 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
 [bad word] 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
