Lyrics

You know, baby I really don't wanna question your choices I don't wanna tell you what to do, or how to do But you know, you gotta know he's not good enough for you I mean, when you go out, he's acting crazy, acting a fool And you're all ashamed You deserve so much more And I'm the one that wants to give you that [Verse 1:] Who am I to criticize? But I don't like the way he does you, no I guess the tears are clouding up your eyes 'Cause you can see he don't deserve you Girl, if I was your man I'd really love you, love you, aww yeah And there's nothing in the world That I won't do, do, do for you 'Cause you're a woman [Chorus:] Why you wanna settle for less? You know that you deserve the best Why you wanna settle for less? When you could have it all for yourself? [Verse 2:] You should have felt a long time ago That you and I have something special So everything that he put you through Wanna know what I can do 'Cause it's affecting me too I have seen you in pain And it's a damn shame That your man don't love and appreciate you like I do If I was your man I'd really love you, love you, love you And you need to think about it, girl You need to choose, choose, choose 'Cause he's just giving you the blues, the blues, the blues Why, why, why [Chorus] Tell me I know you do, I know you do When you don't have to You can have it all, baby Oh think about why, why, why, why [Chorus] [Bridge:] I don't wanna make you more confused, no no, baby This is your life and it's up to you to choose So here's what I'm gonna do I'm always gonna be there supporting you Through the ups and the downs (ups and the downs) Thick and the thin (thick and the thin) When you need somebody, not just anybody I hate to see you missing out Why, baby, why? I'm the one who still needs you baby I'll do all I can for you Why? All of me [Chorus] Baby, baby, tell me Why you wanna settle for less? When you can have it All for yourself All for yourself Here we are And I don't wanna confuse you I want you to know That Eddie loves you so I'm a man The man that's doing all he can I make everything right for you I'll be good to you, good to you And I don't wanna criticize But I wanna let you know If you just look in my eyes I'm tellin' you That I'm the one, baby Wish you could see That you deserve me
