I don't want to 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
I don't want to know the answersTo any of your questions
I don't want, no I really don't want
To be John Lennon or Leonard Cohen
I just want to be my DadWith a slight sprinkling of my mother
And work at the family store
And take orders from the counter
I don't want to know the answers
To any of your questionI don't want, no I really don't want
To be John Lithgow or Jane Curtin
But I'll settle for love
Yeah I'll settle for loveBefore I reached the gate
I realized I had packed my passport
Before security I realized
I had one more bag left
I just want to knowIf something's coming for to get me
Tell me, will you make me sad or happy
And will you settle for love
Will you settle for love
