Fifteen minutes left to throw me together For mister right now, not mister forever Don't know why I even try when I know how it ends Looking like another: "maybe we could be friends." I've been leaving it up to fate It's my life, so it's mine to make I ain't settling for just getting by I've had enough so-so for the rest of my life Tired of shooting too low, so raise the bar high Just enough ain't enough this time I ain't settling for anything less than everything, yeah With some good red wine and my brand new shoes Gonna dance up a blue streak around my living room Take a chance on love and try how it feels With my heart wide open, now you know I will Find what it means to be the girl Change her mind and change her world I ain't settling for just getting by I've had enough so-so for the rest of my life Tired of shooting too low, so raise the bar high Just enough ain't enough this time I ain't settling for anything less than everything I ain't settling for just getting by I've had enough so-so for the rest of my life Tired of shooting too low, so raise the bar high Just not giving up this time I ain't settling for just getting by I've had enough so-so for the rest of my life Tired of shooting too low, so raise the bar high I ain't settling, no, no, no, no, no, no So raise the bar high
