[Verse 1]
I'm the kind of guy who never gets there
With too many expectations
I don't mind
Every time I try to make concessions
I feel like a dope for thinking
She's so fine
Then I'm back where I started from

[Chorus]
I won't settle for blank affection
I'll hold out for total perfection

[Verse 2]
So for now, I'm caught in the middle
I'm waiting for the perfect someone
All in time
'Til then, I've got my friends to count on
They give me all the strength I need
To ease my mind
Time for life to be devine

[Chorus]
I won't settle for blank affection
I'll hold out for total perfection
[Bridge]
You pretend and live in a lie
Stain yourself with compromise
I intend to conquer the day
Make my love in a better way in the end

[Chorus]
I won't settle for blank affection
I'll hold out for total perfection
I won't settle for blank affection
I'll hold out for total perfection
