Well I didn't give up on the road to love
But that road is long and that road is rough
So you seek a diversion from all that work
And I can't get back now
I strayed off into a shady resort
Where perfect formulas quench your thirst
They fix you up in the simplest terms
And I can't get back now
And I saw things that you're not meant to see
Sights and scenes better left to your dreams
And on the way my standards are rising
I'm less prepared to compromise them
And every day brings wider horizons
So how'm I gonna get on the straight and narrow?
How'm I gonna get on to you?
And even if I could it may be too late
Cos I hear that love runs on give and take
That's a deal to which I would not relate
No I can't do that now
Cos I'm used to playing the waited-on guest
Youth and beauty granting my every request
Yeah on the way my standards are rising
I'm less prepared to compromise them
And everyday brings wider horizons
So how'm I gonna settle for what's on offer?
How'm I gonna settle for you?
Now I want things that we're not meant to see
Sights and scenes better left to our dreams
And all the way my standards are rising
I'm not prepared to compromise them
And should I ever finally arrive there
Then how'm I gonna settle for what's on offer?
How'm I gonna settle for you?
Yeah how'm I gonna settle for something proper?
How'm I gonna settle for you?
