What you see is what you get

The bad right along with the good

And I wont apologize for all that I do

So baby, come to me with no regrets

Don’t ask for a compromise

I’ve lived my life too long to change it for you

No Compromise

(What purpose would there be in it?)

No Compromise

(You’ll find I’m gone in a minute)

I wont disguise

(Your ideal, I’ll never fit it)

Who I am just to fit your life

Look in my eyes

(Too tall, too short, too aggressive)

Don’t be surprised

(Too young, too old, too obsessive)

But know that I’m

(Too smart, but not too impressive)

Who I am without compromise

I believe your expectations

Will guarantee that we’re through

And all of this misplaced affection

Would be better spent

On someone who’s sent

From Heaven above just for you

No Compromise

(What purpose would there be in it?)

No Compromise

(You’ll find I’m gone in a minute)

I wont disguise

(Your ideal, I’ll never fit it)

Who I am just to fit your life

Look in my eyes

(Too tall, too short, too aggressive)

Don’t be surprised

(Too young, too old, too obsessive)

But know that I’m

(Too smart, but not too impressive)

Who I am without compromise

Imperfections I’ll confess

The same could be said for you

Just don’t ask me to be someone out of your dreams

And though I don’t believe in fate or soul mates

No one is made for you

You can rely upon the fact I’m all that I seem

No Compromise

(What purpose would there be in it?)

No Compromise

(You’ll find I’m gone in a minute)

I wont disguise

(Your ideal, I’ll never fit it)

Who I am just to fit your life

Look in my eyes

(Too tall, too short, too aggressive)

Don’t be surprised

(Too young, too old, too obsessive)

But know that I’m

(Too smart, but not too impressive)

Who I am without compromise
