Songtexte Want - Rufus Wainwright

I don't want to make it rain
I just want to make it simple
I don't want to see the light
I just want to see the flashlight

I don't want to know the answers
To any of your questions
I don't want, no, I really don't want
To be John Lennon or Leonard Cohen

I just want to be my dad
With a slight sprinkling of my mother
And work at the family store
And take orders from the counter

I don't want to know the answers
To any of your questions
I don't want, no, I really don't want
To be John Lithgow or Jane Curtin

But I'll settle for love
Yeah, I'll settle for love

Before I reached the gate
I realized I had packed my passport

Before security
I realized I had one more bag left
I just want to know if something's
Coming for' to get me

Tell me, will you make me sad?
Or happy?
And will you settle for love?
Will you settle for love?
