You brought me daisies, said the right lines
But baby, I can read the signs
Your charm’s a coat you wear too tight
And I don’t need it every night
You're nice, but not quite gold
And darling, I don’t do half-souls
I’m too good to settle
For halfway hearts and "maybe"s
Too sweet to wrestle
With boys who drive me crazy
I’d rather dance alone
Than tiptoe on my own
I’m too good—oh baby, too good to settle
You’ve got a smile, I won’t deny
But not enough to make me try
I want the fireworks, not sparks
A love that leaves more than marks
It’s not rude, it’s just the truth
I won’t shrink to fit with you
So here’s my kiss, my wave goodbye
And one more wink before I fly
I’m too good to settle
For half-a-hand to hold
Too free to pedal
Down someone else’s road
So I’ll strut to my own song
Confident and strong
I’m too good—yes, honey, too good to settle
