settle for me

when we're together

i feel so grand

my heart goes tippity-tap-tap-tap

when i hold your hand

but i know there's another guy

you fancy more

so

even though

i'm not the one you adore

why not. settle for me

darling

just settle for me

i think you'll have to agree

we make quite a pair

i know i'm only second place in this game

but like two-percent milk

or seitan beef

i almost taste the same

so won't you settle for me

come on and settle for me

say yes or no before i choke on all this swallowed pride

i have no problem being picked out from the bottom

if he's your broken condom

i'm plan b!

so lower those expectations and settle for me

am i okay with this?

totally!

settle for me

babycakes

just settle for me

schmoopy-pie

i'm beggin' you

please

can't you see the light?

sugar jugs

i'm so bereft!

demeaning terms are all that i have left

of my masculinity

so

settle for me

little girl

don't make me feel like a little girl

exposed and raw

whose boobs can't even fill a training bra

let's pretend i didn't say that

settle for me

it's a practical proposal

settle for me

it makes a certain sense

he's a fantasy

but hey

let's think this through

yes

josh is a dream

but i'm right here

in flesh and blood and self-hate

settle for me

in a sad way

darling

it's fate

you're like rocky v to rocky

solange to beyonce

not asking to be your fiance

but if tonight or tomorrow

if you happen to be free

maybe

just maybe

settle for me!
