Don't misunderstand me, 
I was just a little kid 
Thinking that the street life 
Was the only way to live 
Always holding out for another thrill 

We've come a long, long way 
So, tell me why can't we settle for love? 
Is it that hard at the end of the day 
Tell me, why can't we settle for love, 
Before it's too late? 

Whatever it is you think you're missing 
Time to let your heart go 
Cause when you've walked this kind of distance 
We can't fool each other, anymore 
Maybe there is a light that won't go out 

We've come a long, long way 
So, tell me why can't we settle for love? 
Is it that hard at the end of the day 
Tell me, why can't we settle for love, 
Before it's too late?

Before it's too late...


We've come a long, long way 
So, tell me why can't we settle for love? 
Is it that hard at the end of the day 
Tell me, why can't we settle for love, 
Before it's too late?
Before it's too late?

Before it's too late...
