Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
You might not turn every head in the street
[Observation]
Those magazine covers, you'll never quite meet
[Reality Check]
And maybe your wardrobe's more thrift-store chic
[Acceptance]
But darlin', with me, that's perfectly unique

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause let's be honest, the mirror don't lie
[Self-deprecation]
My own reflection gets a mournful sigh
[Humor]
I'm no Brad Pitt, just a regular guy
[Vulnerability]
So lower your standards, and give me a try

[Chorus]
You may not be a flawless ten, it's true
[Honesty]
But honey, I'm probably a generous two
[Self-awareness]
My bank account's empty, my prospects are few
[Compromise]
So what do you say? I'll settle for you

[Verse 2]
I haven't got riches, no mansion, no yacht
[Lack of Material Wealth]
My dating profile picture, digitally enhanced, a lot
[Slight Exaggeration]
The truth is, my life's kind of a chaotic spot
[Mild Chaos]
But with you by my side, maybe it wouldn't rot

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause let's be honest, the mirror don't lie
[Self-deprecation]
My own reflection gets a mournful sigh
[Humor]
I'm no Prince Charming, just scraping by
[Vulnerability]
So bury your pride, let's give it a try

[Chorus]
You may not be a flawless ten, it's true
[Honesty]
But honey, I'm probably a generous two
[Self-awareness]
My landlord is calling, my car is a wreck
[Compromise]
So what do you say? What the heck

[Outro]
I'll settle for you, if you'll settle for me
[Mutual Acceptance]
A bargain we make, for all the world to see
[Slight Irony]
A less than perfect love, eternally
[Hopeful Ending]
You and I, darling, just you and me.
