Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna make it rain
I just want to make it simple
I don't want to see the light
I just want to see the flashlight
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna know the answers to any of your questions
I don't want, no I really don't want
To be John Lennon or Leonard Cohen
[Verse 3]
I just wanna be my dad
With a slight sprinkling of my mother
And work at the family store
And take orders from the counter
[Verse 4]
I don't wanna know the answers to any of your questions
I don't want, no I really don't want
To be John Lithgow or Jane Curtin
[Verse 5]
But I'll settle for love
Yeah, I'll settle for love
[Verse 6]
Before I reached the gate, I realised I had packed my passport
Before security, I realised I had one more bag left
I just wanna know if somethin's comin' for to get me
[Verse 7]
Tell me will you make-a me sad or happy?
And will you settle for love?
Will you settle for love?
