La-da-da-da-da-da, doo-doo-doo-doo-oh-oh
Sometimes in the morning light you fantasize
(When the sun goes down)
You lie with lonely tears there in your eyes, mm-mm
At night, you be hanging out in the neighborhood
And before you know, you're going home
Someone who ain't no good, so
Don't you ever, ever settle for less (oh)
No need to take the second best (uh-uh)
Just live a life that is true
And there'll be someone better for you
Don't go throwing your heart away (away)
Good things come to those who wait
Keep on doing what you do
And there'll be something better for you
Something better for you (something)
Something better for you (you)
Sometimes we're searching for something real
(But the problem is)
We keep forgetting how love's supposed to feel, mm-mm
Sometimes we've been given too much and let others take
A lover says the perfect words
But somehow a heart still breaks, so
Don't you ever, ever settle for less (settle for less)
No need to take the second best (no)
Just live a life that is true
And there'll be someone better for you
Don't go throwing your heart away (whoa-whoa)
Good things come to those who wait
Keep on doing what you do
And there'll be something better for you (for you, for you)
Something better for me (for me, for me)
The kind of love that everyone who lives and learns truly deserves
Something better than good
A love that's understood
That's always there to catch you when you fall
Someone to be your all and all, oh yeah
Oh, don't you ever, ever (don't you ever, ever settle for less)
(No need to take the second best) no, oh-oh
Just live a life that is true
And there'll be someone better for you
(Don't go throwing your heart away) don't go throwing
(Good things come to those who wait) who wait
(Keep on doing what you do)
And there'll be something better for you (something better for you)
(Something better for you) give me something better
(Something better for you) something, something better
Something better for you (something better for you)
Better, better (something better for you)
There's something better for you (something better for you)
(Something better for you) better for you
(Something better for you) there's something better
(Something better for you) something better
Something better for you
