you keep me at arms length in your quest for perfection doin just the minimum to hold on to my affection i ve waited patiently hoping you ll come through you say you don t want to hurt me but it s the first thing that you do i m tired of having to be your emotional insurance policy you don t love me but you ll settle for me you don t love me but you ll settle for me i love you with a heart so pure but if you think i ll be waiting honey don t be so sure the boys you date are beautiful that s undeniable but unlike me they re unreliable you take for granted i ll wait around for you to be there to fall back on when your sexcapades are through i m tired of being your safety net the more i care the more entangled i get you don t love me but you ll settle for me you don t love me but you ll settle for me i love you with a heart so pure but if you think i ll be waiting honey don t be so sure there s nothing like affection deferred to crush your soul and stain your world you don t love me but you ll settle for me you don t love me but you ll settle for me i love you with a heart so pure but if you think i ll be waiting honey don t be so sure
