lyrics

don't settle for love;
it's a gift from the gods above!
that leaves your head behind;
and frees your heart to rule over your scared mind.

don't, don't turn me over;
don't drag me under;
don't kiss me under sheets,
and the safety of the covers;
then wander the streets
looking for another;
all the while promising me that'll be your only lover.

don't settle for hate;
it's a thing that can't create.
it takes from your soul;
and leaves a gaping hole.
so don't lose it all,
for a part of something small.
stay upon your feet;
and chase the things that teach your heart to beat!

don't, don't turn me over;
don't drag me under;
don't kiss me under sheets,
and the safety of the covers;
then wander the streets
looking for another;
all the while promising me that i'll be your only lover.

when time remains, you'd better leave it far behind.
and all this, it says you'd better say what's on your mind!
then you'll have it then - a little soul to define.
and all this, i know,
it makes you run, makes you hide;
makes you keep it inside;
when you should say hello to love!

don't, don't turn me over;
don't drag me under;
don't kiss me under sheets,
and the safety of the covers;
then wander the streets
looking for another;
all the while promising me that i'll be your only lover.

yes i've got a heart;
and i keep it inside.
yes i've got a light;
and it likes to shine.
and i'll shine it for you;
if you would only ask.
it'll shine up the room;
and chase away the dark.
