Artist/Band: Carmen McRae
Lyrics for Song: How Could I Settle For Less
Lyrics for Album: Ms.Jazz [1998]



Mine was a simple story

Never a thought of glory

I did what I did and what I had

I was glad to posses



But you changed my whole direction

And now that I've seen perfection

How could I settle for less?



I was the shyest lover

Ready to run for cover

But look at me now

I'm not the same, I aim to impress



You gave me a glance at heaven

And given a change at heaven

How could I settle for less?



Could Caesar span Cleopatra's door?

Columbus turn once he saw the shore?



I, I don't want fame or treasure

Miracles made to measure

The beautiful things that people

Rate the greatest success



I only want you forever

And you and I close together

How could I settle for?

How, how could I settle?

How could I settle for less?



Tell me, tell me, tell me

Tell me daddy, how could I settle for less?

I wanna know, I want to know

How could I settle for?
