I hear the whispers as I walk by They always start with 'bless her heart' She's still single and that's such an empty life She must not be looking all that hard They've all got their stories Of why I'm still alone But the only truth that matters is my own I want fireworks to paint the sky A kiss to burn my lips I wanna feel the touch that pounds my heart Down to my fingertips And twenty years from now It still won't be as good as it will get It might be a lot to ask for But I won't take any less Just because I won't settle Don't mean I won't settle down I don't need a love that I can live with I want the one I can't live without Momma's always getting on me She says I don't give anyone a chance But if I can't feel the music when somebody holds me How am I supposed to dance? There might be a few more lonely nights But I'm not keeping score It's worth the wait for what I'm waiting for Fireworks to paint the sky A kiss to burn my lips I wanna feel the flesh that pounds my heart Down to my fingertips And twenty years from now It still won't be as good as it will get It might be a lot to ask for But I won't take any less Just because I won't settle Don't mean I won't settle down I don't need a love that I can live with I want the one I can't live without And just because I won't settle Don't mean I won't settle down I don't need a love that I can live with I want the one I can't live without Oh, I can't live without
